WP1: Requirements analysis

it is very important to first define the

exchange scenarios / uses cases

of the IFC extensions to be developed

otherwise the data model might fail to fulfill

the requirements coming from these uses cases

consensus must be found regarding the use cases

to be supported

use case identification was based on the results of

the IFC-Infra Overall Architecture project
