ifcXML configuration file
ifcXML configuration file missing in all IFC versions starting with 4.0.2.1. In the older versions the link is available but broken.
It is still there - just replaced. For 4.0.2.1 see: https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/listing-ifc4_add2.htm (last row), direct link: https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/annex/annex-a/general-usage/IFC4_ADD2.xml
Still not ompletely working for 4.0.2.0. There is an entry of the old structure in Annex A. http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4/Add2/IFC4_ADD2_config.xml This seems to be a general problem in all versions. The links to EXPRESS schma and XSD are broken.
There are two issues here (in my view)
- the page https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/annex-a.htm duplicates the link to the EXPRESS and XSD source definitions (also available under) https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/listing-ifc4_add2.htm
- there is still not automatic re-routing from the obsolete http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org page to https://standards.buildingsmart.org
will forward 1) to @jwouellette and 2) to @berlotti
@TLiebich Issue 1) I'm not sure I have control over. Do you wish to delete the Annex? Is that done though IfcDoc?
issue 2) has been resolved by all traffic from the old site buildingsmart-tech.org being rerouted to technical.buildingsmart.org
to 1) keep the annex - it is needed but the links on the main annex side are still invalid see https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/annex-a.htm
those links are invalid: IFC XSD long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/Add2TC1/IFC4.xsd IFC EXPRESS long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/Add2TC1/IFC4.exp
correct location seem to be:
IFC XSD long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/XML/IFC4.xsd IFC EXPRESS long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/EXPRESS/IFC4.exp
Not sure anyone is still looking at this. I have noticed yesterday that the XML configuration file is generated but not the link in the documentation. Today I was cleaning my email box and found this issue. I would fix this in IfcDoc for IFC4x3, it is quite important for the XML computer interpretable listings.
