Use Definitions
IfcClassification identifies the classification system or source
from which a classification notation is derived. The objective is to minimize
the number of IfcClassification objects contained within an IFC model.
Ideally, each classification system or source used should have only one
IfcClassification object. However, because multiple classification is
allowed, there may be many IfcClassification objects used, each
identifying a different classification system or source.
