EXPRESS-G diagramThe IfcActorResource schema
within the IFC model enables representation of information concerning a person
or an organization that will undertake work, hold responsibility, etc.
IfcActorResource schema is developed as a separate resource schema containing
identified actor related classes because it is a general idea that can be
related to many other classes.
The classes and attributes within the
IfcActorResource schema supports the identification of properties of persons
and organizations whose services may be used. Additionally it supports relating
persons to organizations, and relationships between organizations, e.g. to form
hierarchical organization structures. The scope of the schema is to be
sufficient for the purposes of a model dealing with project design and
construction and for management of the constructed facility (within the scope
of business processes supported by this release of the IFC model) following
project completion. The information content of the schema is not sufficient for
the exchange of detailed information about human resources.
The
IfcActorResource schema is defined following an adaptation of
person_organization schema contained in the ISO/CD 10303-41:1992, Industrial
Automation Systems and Integration: Product Data Representation and Exchange
Part 41: Integrated generic resources: Fundamentals of product description and
support. For more information on the definitions as defined in the formal ISO
standard please refer to: ISO/IS 10303-41:1994. The formal standard can be
obtained through the local publishers of standards in each individual
country.
Amendments and extensions to the schema have been defined to
meet the requirements of IAI defined business processes in AEC/FM design,
construction and facilities management operations.
HISTORY This schema was introduced in IFC R2.0. Its entities were formerly part of IfcPropertyResource.
