[OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-68) Describe representation of ReferenceTypes in responses

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-68:
----------------------------

       Proposal: 
1. Always represent references in responses as <metadata:entity-ref> or {"odata.entityRef":...}.
2. Allow passing entity references in {"odata.entityRef":...} and KEY(...) notation instead of entities to function and action parameters.
3. Remove edm:ReferenceType element and Ref(...)notation from CSDL. We don't need it anymore for passing parameters, and we want to give the client the choice of appending /$ref if it wants to save bandwidth. Returning only references and requiring additional requests for getting at the representations actually wastes bandwidth.
4. Keep KEY(...) notation in URL Conventions for use case E.

For details see https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/48465/Representing%20Entity%20References%202013-03-05.doc 

  was:
Use the same literal form as in URLs in the body of an <d:element> element in Atom and within a double-quoted string in JSON
alternate:
Get rid of ReferenceTypes; for functions that return entities, the client can append /$ref in order to get the odata.entityRef bback instead.

    Environment: [Proposed]
