Entity definition

A Well Known Text (WKT) literal is a structured textual representation of the definition of a coordinate reference systems according to ISO 19125-1:2004 or ISO 19162:2019.

NOTE This entity encapsulates the IfcWellKnownTextLiteral in order to associate a WKT definition to an IfcCoordinateReferenceSystem by means of an inverse attribute.
