Abstract:
The Open Data Protocol (OData) enables the creation of REST-based data
services,
which allow resources, identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
and
defined in an Entity Data Model (EDM), to be published and edited by Web
clients
using simple HTTP messages. OData version 4.0 defines the core semantics and
facilities of the protocol, a set of recommended (but not required) rules for
constructing URLs to identify the data and metadata exposed by an OData
service
as well as a set of reserved URL query string operators, an Entity Data Model
(EDM), and an XML representation of the entity data model exposed by an OData
service.

OData Atom Format version 4.0 extends the former by defining representations
for
OData requests and responses using an Atom format.
TC Description: The OASIS OData TC works to simplify the querying and sharing
of
data across disparate applications and multiple stakeholders for re-use in
the
enterprise, Cloud, and mobile devices. A REST-based protocol, OData builds on
HTTP, AtomPub, and JSON using URIs to address and access data feed resources.
It
enables information to be accessed from a variety of sources including (but
not
limited to) relational databases, file systems, content management systems,
and
traditional Web sites. OData provides a way to break down data silos and
increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data
consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more
powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of
a
broader set of data. Every producer and consumer of data that participates in
this ecosystem increases its overall value.
