Description

For each class in my dictionary I am able to provide a list of related IFC entities. According to the documentation it seems that the IFC entity name is used for that, e.g. IfcWall as given in the example in the bSDD documentation.

What if the mapping depends on the IFC version, let's say it is IfcBuildingElementProxy in IFC2x3 and IFC4, and IfcBearing in IFC4.3?
Can/shall I use a version qualifier in such cases (or maybe the URI)?

P.S. I know that bSDD does not yet include IFC versions other than IFC4.3, but I would expect some version dependency for future IFC versions as well.
