Description

> A representation is a collection of one or more representation items that are related in a specified representation context. The relationship of representation item to representation context is the basis for distinguishing which representation item entities are related.

> A representation item can be related to a representation context directly, when it occurs as an element is a representation, or indirectly, when it is referenced through any number of intervening entities, each of type representation item.

This part seems wrong. No relationship between IfcRepresentationItem and IfcGeometricRepresentationContext. It also doesn't clarify anything. Proposal to remove this citation.
