Even if the absence of a common concept for handling both “local” and “global” topologies is not considered a problem, ad-hoc-modelling of topological properties in BIM without adequate topological knowledge may end up with flaws. Such knowledge also helps distinguish spatial semantics from non-spatial semantics, and it avoids complicating the model. A good example for such complexity is the ‘IfcRelConnects’ class hierarchy: The class ‘IfcRelConnectsElements’ defines two attributes ‘Related’ and ‘Relating’ referencing two elements which are somehow connected. Another subclasses of ‘IfcRelConnects’, however, have a completely different signature and meaning: Namely, the class ‘IfcRelSpaceBoundary’ “relates” a room element to a set of boundary elements and a similar class ‘IfcRelCoversSpaces’ where a room element “is related” to a set of boundary surfaces. So we have an element-element, an element-set, and a set-element signature, and even a transposition of the meaning of “relating” and “related”. This small example shows that there exists a zoo of storage concepts for spatial data. Some of the enormous complexity of IFC, COMBINE ABSTRACT
