Remove FunctionReference
------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-196
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-196
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: WD01


Section 15.2.6 The edm:FunctionReference Expression states that its value is a reference to the return type of a function.

This seems to be a leftover from removing model functions.

The example uses Function="org.example.person.GetAge", which indicates that it points to a model function as it uses the same prefix as the org.example.person.Age value term, which implies that GetAge is defined in a schema (as a model function would have been) and not in an entity container (as a function import must be).

Also the introduction of Type Definitions now allows giving a name to primitive types with facets, so even primitive return types with facets can now be given a name, reducing the need for referring to implicitly defined types.
