Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

IfcPropertyTemplateDefinition is a generalization of all property and property set templates. Templates define the collection, types, names, applicable measure types and units of individual properties used in a project. The property template definition can be either:

Property set template - IfcPropertySetTemplate, a collection of property templates that determine the definition of properties used within a project context.
Property template - IfcPropertyTemplate, a single template that determines the definition of a particular property used in the same project context. The template may determine the name, description, data type, the unit, or a standard expression for each property that is based on that template.

The subtypes of IfcPropertyTemplateDefinition are declared within a project context. The uppermost template definition (e.g. the IfcPropertySetTemplate including several IfcPropertyTemplate's) should be related to the context, either IfcProject, or IfcProjectLibrary, using the inherited HasContext inverse attribute.

HISTORY New entity in IFC4.
