| IfcGeographicElementType | ADDED |
An IfcGeographicElementType is used to define an element specification of a geographic element (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type). Geographic element types include for different types of element that may be used to represent information within a geographical landscape external to a building. Within the world of geographic information they are referred to generally as 'features'. IfcGeographicElementType's include:
The specification of the specific types are given by the inherited attribute IfcElementType.ElementType given as an IfcLabel.
Geographic element types are frequently identified in feature catalogs that are produced for particular purposes. The IfcGeographicElementType entity enables the continued use of existing feature catalogs through capture of their identity and attributes.
Information from feature catalogs might be captured in various ways:
NOTE This is due to the range of choices of element type thyat are available and their expression in different languages. It is not considered possible to create a reasonably full list of types within an enumeration. It is suggested that selection of the relevant type be drawn from an available 'feature catalog'.
HISTORY New entity in IFC4.
| # | Attribute | Type | Cardinality | Description | G |

| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| CorrectPredefinedType | The inherited attribute ElementType shall be provided, if the PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED. |

| IfcRoot | |||||
| 1 | GlobalId | IfcGloballyUniqueId | Assignment of a globally unique identifier within the entire software world. | X | |
| 2 | OwnerHistory | IfcOwnerHistory | ? |
Assignment of the information about the current ownership of that object, including owning actor, application, local identification and information captured about the recent changes of the object,
NOTE only the last modification in stored - either as addition, deletion or modification. IFC4 CHANGE The attribute has been changed to be OPTIONAL. | X |
| 3 | Name | IfcLabel | ? | Optional name for use by the participating software systems or users. For some subtypes of IfcRoot the insertion of the Name attribute may be required. This would be enforced by a where rule. | X |
| 4 | Description | IfcText | ? | Optional description, provided for exchanging informative comments. | X |
| IfcObjectDefinition | |||||
| HasAssignments | IfcRelAssigns @RelatedObjects | S[0:?] | Reference to the relationship objects, that assign (by an association relationship) other subtypes of IfcObject to this object instance. Examples are the association to products, processes, controls, resources or groups. | X | |
| Nests | IfcRelNests @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is a part within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object occurrence or type can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been added and separated from Decomposes defined at IfcObjectDefinition. | X | |
| IsNestedBy | IfcRelNests @RelatingObject | S[0:?] | References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is the whole within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object or object type can be nested by several other objects (occurrences or types).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been added and separated from IsDecomposedBy defined at IfcObjectDefinition. | X | |
| HasContext | IfcRelDeclares @RelatedDefinitions | S[0:1] | References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object.
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been added. | X | |
| IsDecomposedBy | IfcRelAggregates @RelatingObject | S[0:?] | References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is whole within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been changed from the supertype IfcRelDecomposes to subtype IfcRelAggregates. | X | |
| Decomposes | IfcRelAggregates @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is a part within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only).
IFC4 CHANGE The inverse attribute datatype has been changed from the supertype IfcRelDecomposes to subtype IfcRelAggregates. | X | |
| HasAssociations | IfcRelAssociates @RelatedObjects | S[0:?] | Reference to the relationship objects, that associates external references or other resource definitions to the object.. Examples are the association to library, documentation or classification. | X | |
| IfcTypeObject | |||||
| 5 | ApplicableOccurrence | IfcIdentifier | ? |
The attribute optionally defines the data type of the occurrence object, to which the assigned type object can relate. If not present, no instruction is given to which occurrence object the type object is applicable. The following conventions are used:
EXAMPLE Refering to a furniture as applicable occurrence entity would be expressed as 'IfcFurnishingElement', refering to a brace as applicable entity would be expressed as 'IfcMember/BRACE', refering to a wall and wall standard case would be expressed as 'IfcWall, IfcWallStandardCase'. | X |
| 6 | HasPropertySets | IfcPropertySetDefinition | ? S[1:?] |
Set IFC2x3 CHANGE The attribute aggregate type has been changed from LIST to SET. | X |
| Types | IfcRelDefinesByType @RelatingType | S[0:1] | Reference to the relationship IfcRelDefinedByType and thus to those occurrence objects, which are defined by this type. | X | |
| IfcTypeProduct | |||||
| 7 | RepresentationMaps | IfcRepresentationMap | ? L[1:?] | List of unique representation maps. Each representation map describes a block definition of the shape of the product style. By providing more than one representation map, a multi-view block definition can be given. | X |
| 8 | Tag | IfcLabel | ? | The tag (or label) identifier at the particular type of a product, e.g. the article number (like the EAN). It is the identifier at the specific level. | X |
| ReferencedBy | IfcRelAssignsToProduct @RelatingProduct | S[0:?] | Reference to the IfcRelAssignsToProduct relationship, by which other products, processes, controls, resources or actors (as subtypes of IfcObjectDefinition) can be related to this product type.
IFC4 CHANGE New inverse relationship. | X | |
| IfcElementType | |||||
| 9 | ElementType | IfcLabel | ? | The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute 'PredefinedType' is set to USERDEFINED. | X |
| IfcGeographicElementType | |||||
| 10 | PredefinedType | IfcGeographicElementTypeEnum | Predefined types to define the particular type of the geographic element. There may be property set definitions available for each predefined type. | X | |
