Happy to hear this Yorik, good job

I see the final output which is STEP files, and say: OK! Let’s accept that all are happy with STEP at the output

How can we have **“shallower tree”** and **“single entities”** and **“simplified relationships”** inside the schema.

The output can be this:

> ```
> #1=IFCPERSON($,$,'Yorik van Havre',$,$,$,$,$);
> #2=IFCORGANIZATION($,'uncreated.net',$,$,$);
> #3=IFCPERSONANDORGANIZATION(#1,#2,$);
> #4=IFCAPPLICATION(#2,'0.19 build 16944 (Git)','FreeCAD','118df2cf_ed21_438e_a41');
> #5=IFCOWNERHISTORY(#3,#4,$,.ADDED.,$,#3,#4,1560119567);
> 
> ```

But what if we be able to **“move all types, rules, functions, … needed into a single entity”** and **“have simplified relationships”** not messy ones that cause a lot of misunderstandings even between people who know IFC well

I don’t know is it possible or not, but it seems that possible. I should ask from people who know UML and software architecture development I think
