The advantage over conventional static or dynamic linking is that, in case the IfcOpenShell process would crash (either due to invalid input, heap overflow, bugs, ...), this does not affect the main process. Currently, the only implementation of a consumer for this process is the Java module over at: https://github.com/opensourceBIM/IfcOpenShell-BIMserver-plugin/blob/master/src/org/ifcopenshell/IfcGeomServerClient.java
