IFC Actor Role (IfcRoleEnum value)

Class
http://proethica.org/vocab/ifc-roles#IfcActorRoleValue
Definition

A role an actor plays on a building/infrastructure project, as enumerated by IFC for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry. IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) is the ISO 16739-1 openBIM standard from buildingSMART. In native IFC this is a value of the IfcActorRole.Role attribute (IfcRoleEnum), i.e. an enumeration value, not a class. Held locally as a crosswalk target; see the 'IFC Actor Roles' scheme for the full provenance.
