IFC - Industry Foundation Classes/Software Comparison

From Wiki.OSArch

This is the start of a page comparing the implementation of Industry Foundation Classes in different software. The main purpose is to be able to understand the differences in the implementation rather than making a direct comparison of features.

Unfortunately different software uses different terminology for the same IFC terms. Here are some examples, please help to expand the list.
