                 Key: ODATA-5
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-5
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
            Reporter: Ralf Handl

             Fix For: WD01


The Type attribute of the ValueTerm element is currently limited to  [<simpleIdentifier>][csdl19] or [<qualifiedIdentifier>][csdl19].

As each model element can have at most one ValueAnnotation for a given ValueTerm and Qualifier, this is too restrictive. We already identified situations where we need a Collection(SimpleType) or Collection(ComplexType) as the Type of a ValueTerm.

Also a ValueAnnotation is conceptually similar to dynamic Property, so allowing the same set of types for both will increase protocol consistency.
