      Simplified Syntax;[Proposed]

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      -introduce a vocabulary element for services to declare one or more default namespaces, as per simplified url proposal (https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odata/email/archives/201511/msg00007.html)

      -4.01 services need to support invoking unqualified actions/functions defined within a default namespace
      -State that bound actions/functions SHOULD NOT conflict with any properties on the type they are bound to
      -Define a precedence for resolving possible conflicts as per simplified url proposal:
      -declared property=>function/action=>open property
      -Services must also allow qualified invocation

      -make sure that docs are clear that services must not require clients to understand custom annotations, but OData annotations may imply semantics that a client reporting support for that version of the specification would need to understand in order to work correctly with the service.

      Description

      I hear a lot of pushback on having to qualify functions/actions when invoking.

      We can support unqualified function/actions as long as they don't conflict with any properties.
