      {
      "odata.metadata": "http://host/service/$metadata",

      https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odata/download.php/46576/Association%20Simplification.pptx introduced the concept of Named Entities that are children of the entity container.

      As these were important enough to get named, they should be advertised in the service document.
