ifcXML configuration file

[arch1501]

ifcXML configuration file missing in all IFC versions starting with 4.0.2.1.
In the older versions the link is available but broken.

[TLiebich]

It is still there - just replaced. For 4.0.2.1 see:
https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/listing-ifc4_add2.htm (last row), direct link:
https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/annex/annex-a/general-usage/IFC4_ADD2.xml

[arch1501]

Still not ompletely working for 4.0.2.0.
There is an entry of the old structure in Annex A.
http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4/Add2/IFC4_ADD2_config.xml
This seems to be a general problem in all versions. The links to EXPRESS schma and XSD are broken.

[TLiebich]

There are two issues here (in my view)

1. the page https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/annex-a.htm duplicates the link to the EXPRESS and XSD source definitions (also available under) https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/listing-ifc4_add2.htm
2. there is still not automatic re-routing from the obsolete http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org page to https://standards.buildingsmart.org

will forward 1) to @jwouellette and 2) to @berlotti

@TLiebich
Issue 1) I'm not sure I have control over. Do you wish to delete the Annex? Is that done though IfcDoc?

issue 2) has been resolved by all traffic from the old site buildingsmart-tech.org being rerouted to technical.buildingsmart.org

[TLiebich]

to 1) keep the annex - it is needed
but the links on the main annex side are still invalid
see https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/HTML/link/annex-a.htm

those links are invalid:
IFC XSD long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/Add2TC1/IFC4.xsd
IFC EXPRESS long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/Add2TC1/IFC4.exp

[TLiebich]

correct location seem to be:

IFC XSD long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/XML/IFC4.xsd
IFC EXPRESS long form schema | https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4/ADD2_TC1/EXPRESS/IFC4.exp

Not sure anyone is still looking at this. I have noticed yesterday that the XML configuration file is generated but not the link in the documentation. Today I was cleaning my email box and found this issue. I would fix this in IfcDoc for IFC4x3, it is quite important for the XML computer interpretable listings.
