+| **URI**    | ❌       | ❌                   | Uniform Resource Identifier of the class. | Used to reference a standardized definition of a class, to ensure consistentcy of interpretation. The target resource should include a name and definition, and preferably comply with the ISO 23386. This is an optional attribute that is not subject to IDS checking - the IFC model does not need to have the same or any URI. One source of valid URIs is [the bSDD](https://search.bsdd.buildingsmart.org/), and an example URI is that of a "Beam": [https://identifier.buildingsmart.org/uri/buildingsmart/ifc/4.3/class/IfcBeam](https://identifier.buildingsmart.org/uri/buildingsmart/ifc/4.3/class/IfcBeam). |
 
 If no parameters are specified, then it means that any **Classification** should be present, regardless of **System** name or **Reference** code.
