IfcTimeSeries
Definition from IAI:
A time series is a set of a time-stamped data entries.
It allows a natural association of data collected over
intervals of time. Time series can be regular or irregular.
In regular time series data arrive predictably at predefined intervals.
In irregular time series some or all time stamps do not follow a repetitive
pattern and unpredictable bursts of data may arrive at
unspecified points in time.
The modeling of buildings and their performance involves data
that are generated and recorded over a period of time. Such data
cover a large spectrum, from weather data to schedules of all kinds
to status measurements to reporting to everything else that has a
time related aspect. Their correct placement in time is essential
for their proper understanding and use, and the IfcTimeSeries
subtypes provide the appropriate data structures to accommodate these
types of data.
