Several [free](http://www.ifcwiki.org/index.php/Open_Source) or [open-source](http://www.ifcwiki.org/index.php/Open_Source) applications allow to open, visualize and inspect IFC files and make sure that the rules below were correctly implemented.

+### **Name and Description:** All objects and materials should have a human-readable name or description
 
 Objects should have a name that allows a human being to understand what it is, in case the software that reads the IFC file fails to recognize or categorize it appropriately. For example, bad names are "Object00014", "Material43". Good names are "Kitchen chair", "Grey concrete", "East living room wall"

+### **Nested Groups:** All objects should be grouped in meaningful ways
 
 Grouping objects using [IfcGroups](http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4x1/html/schema/ifckernel/lexical/ifcgroup.htm) allows a human being to clearly recognize objects as being part of a same area, funcion or category. Groups can be nested inside other groups. A same object cannot be part of several groups.

 **To do:**
 
 * IFC offers two different "structures" to group and organize contents: [space-related](http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4x1/html/schema/ifcproductextension/lexical/ifcrelcontainedinspatialstructure.htm) (Building->BuildingStorey->Zone->Space) and non-space-related ([Group](http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4x1/html/schema/ifckernel/lexical/ifcgroup.htm) ). These two structures are fully independent and cannot be combined (you cannot add a group to a spatial structure element). Check if using IFC Groups is the most adequate form, and if it wouldn't be better to switch to a full space-related system.

+## Tools
+Use free/open-source IFC applications to validate the data inside IFC files.
 
 It is fundamental for the author of an IFC file to be fully aware of what has been included in that file. Therefore, it is essential to be able to vertify the contents of the file in a neutral manner (independent of the application that exported it). It should also be possible for other people to easily open that file, and verify its contents, independently of the application used to import it.
