C.30.AD.BA:2.2 - Recover a reference designation as a relation

A reference designation is useful because it makes information about an entity retrievable under an explicit structuring and designation scheme. First recover the exact designation or reference relation through its direct representation/reference/naming owner. C.30.AD.BA records only its built-asset architecture-description use; a code, field, repeated string, list row, or the record below neither admits a relation kind nor makes an occurrence obtain. If no current subject pattern supplies the needed relation, keep the designation use as bounded C.2.1 claim content; apply A.6.RCD only when a named repeated receiving use genuinely needs a reusable predicate definition or admitted direct relation.

BuiltAssetReferenceDesignationUse:
  designationValue: local designation value, byValue
  referenceDesignationScheme: U.ReferenceScheme, byValue
  designatedEntityRef: U.EntityRef
  selectedAspectStructureRef: U.StructureRef
  designationOrReferenceRelationRef?: U.RelationRef
  qualificationWindow:
  correspondingEntityRef?: U.EntityRef
  correspondenceClaimOrRelationRef?: U.EpistemeRef | U.RelationRef
  admissibleUse:
  nonAdmissibleUse:

selectedAspectStructureRef names the exact structure in which the designation is interpreted, such as a functional, product, location, or declared local structure. It is not a free aspect label. designatedEntityRef names the entity designated in that structure. Include designationOrReferenceRelationRef only when the designation or reference relation kind is admitted and the occurrence independently obtains. If a design object and a realized component both need to be retrieved, name the two entities and a bounded correspondence claim or independently obtaining correspondence relation rather than letting one code silently collapse them.

The designation use permits retrieval and cross-description coordination. Part-whole, function, location, identity across aspects, and evidence claims still come from their direct relations or claim owners. Repeated appearance of the same designation expression is insufficient to merge referents when the scheme, selected structure, local sense, or qualification window differs.
