Interface entity #120

Closed superlee1 closed 2 months ago

superlee1 commented 2 months ago

Hi,

the bot:Interface entity is disjointed from bot:Zone and bot:Element, i.e., no building element is allowed to "has an interfacing role" connecting other entities. This is conflicted with the comment for bot:Interface, giving an example as "A door between one room and another." How about defining bot:Interface as "anything (incl. surface, physical objects, etc.) that plays an interfacing role", meanwhile removing the disjointness to bot:Zone and bot:Element? Thanks!

Hi @superlee1 this would be the wrong way to use BOT interfaces that should in my opinion be kept as disjoint from elements and zones. In the door example the intention would be to have somewhere to describe access restrictions which might be different dependent on the direction you would like to access.

@MadsHolten OK! Understood, thanks!
