The AIF metadata defines the following required fields
aif:core:overallGeometryDimensions | float3 | Overall geometry (WxDxH) in mm
aif:core:height | float | Equipment height in mm
aif:core:width | float | Equipment width in mm
aif:core:depth | float | Equipment depth in mm
Why is overallGeometryDimensions (float3) required when it is a duplicate of the individual width, depth, height values?
Duplicity of data can lead to errors, be they mitakes or numerical representation (rounding/precision) issues and values potentially can get out of sync. Is the float3 really needed here? Information like this can be so easily derived in code at runtime from the core values.
