Definition from IAI: The IfcControl is the abstract
generalization of all concepts that control or constrain products or processes
in general. It can be seen as a specification, regulation, cost schedule or
other requirement applied to a product or process whose requirements and
provisions must be fulfilled. Controls are assigned to products, processes, or
other objects by using the IfcRelAssignsToControl relationship.
EXAMPLE: Controls are e.g., space program, cost
schedules, orderm, work plan, etc.
NOTE: Some basic items, such as cost value,
approval, or constraint are directly attachable to products and processes using
the association relationship subtypes of
IfcRelAssociates.
It is defined in the IfcKernel but will be reused and specialized
in other schemas.
