Use GUIDs for enumeration values in IfcSimplePropertyTemplate #45

Open klacol opened 4 years ago

klacol commented 4 years ago

Description of the proposal:

The enum values in IfcSimplePropertyTemplate do not have a GUID. I propose to add a GUID for each enum value.

What do we win: We can identify and migrate changed enum values. We can relate all enum values per values to external sources.

What do we loose nothing

Schema impact: low

Instance model impact: All future model files woul have this additional GUIDs

Backwards compatible: depend, on how older systems import files, that contain this addition GUIDs

Automatic migration possible: yes

Additional implications: unknown
