  IfcReferent defines a position at a particular offset along an alignment curve.
  Referents can be used in several cases:
  * Positioning physical elements at common locations along an alignment curve (e.g. bridge piers)
  * Indicating transitions for cross-sections (e.g. beginning of curvature where road is relatively flat, 
    maximum curvature having super-elevated cross-slope to accommodate design speed)
  * Indicating broken chainage where distance measurements reset or reverse directions
  * Indicating domain-specific design parameters (via property sets) at locations along an alignment curve
  
  - Property Sets for Objects -
  This concept can be applied to the following resources:
  * Pset_LinearReferencingMethod (only applies to POSITION)
  * Pset_ReferentCommon
  * Pset_Stationing
