                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-54
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: WD01


Enumeration types with string values would be helpful to restrict the values of string properties to those in a code list, e.g. ISO currency codes.

Using numeric enumeration values is counter-intuitive in these cases.
