[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-18) There are syntax errors in the core OData grammar

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

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-18?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=30977#action_30977 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-18:
---------------------------------

I'd like to go one step further: not only automatically check whether the ABNF rules are syntactically correct, but have them translated into an executable that we can run on sample URIs and payloads to automatically check whether the ABNF express what we want them to.

Any ideas on how to do that?

> There should be an OData grammar that is available as part of the OData standard.  The core OData grammar is OData ABNF.markdown in
> https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odata/download.php/46557/ODataV3Core.zip
> However, this grammar has a few minor syntax errors and many terms that are not yet defined.  
> The issues to be resolved are:
> 1. Do my proposed modifications correctly define the OData grammar rules?
> 2. What are the grammar rules for the undefined terms?
