Description

The AIF metadata defines the following required fields

aif:core:overallGeometryDimensions | float3 | Overall geometry (WxDxH) in mm
aif:core:height | float | Equipment height in mm
aif:core:width | float | Equipment width in mm
aif:core:depth | float | Equipment depth in mm

Why is overallGeometryDimensions (float3) required when it is a duplicate of the individual width, depth, height values?

Duplicity of data can lead to errors, be they mitakes or numerical representation (rounding/precision) issues and values potentially can get out of sync. Is the float3 really needed here? Information like this can be so easily derived in code at runtime from the core values.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the AIF metadata definitions for overallGeometryDimensions, height, width, and depth, then trace where these required fields are specified or consumed. Compare whether the float3 value is necessary alongside the individual dimensions; done means reaching and recording a clear schema decision about retaining or removing the redundant field.
