Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

In an irregular time series, unpredictable bursts of data arrive at unspecified points in time, or most time stamps cannot be characterized by a repeating pattern.

EXAMPLE A circulating pump cycles on and off at unpredictable times as dictated by the demands on the piping system; the amount of light in a classroom varies depending on when the lights are manually switched on and off and how many lamps are controlled by each switch.

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x2.
