This Ifc Parser Library is a simple view model (VM) library able to store EXPRESS and IFC data in memory. It does not include a parser; yet, the EXPRESStoOWL and IFCtoRDF libraries rely on this library for storing their data. IFC information can be handled and transformed afterward. It is not possible to read or publish IFC files with this library. This library originates to a large extent from the work of Jyrki Oraskari.

It is not advised to run this code directly. Instead, you are advised to load this library in your Java project using Maven, enabling you to store and use IFC data in your Java projects.

If you plan to re-use this code, you are advised to do this through maven. The code is published as a Maven module in Maven Central (https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.github.pipauwel/IfcParserLib). Therefore, you can directly include and use this code by adding the following lines to your pom.xml file.

<dependency>
