[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-138) Remove sections 12 Model Functions and 10.4 Row Types including the subsections

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

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-138?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31882#action_31882 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-138:
----------------------------------

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

Is this a typo and it should be "function import", or is this 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).

Opened issue ODATA-196 for this.

> Model Functions are an isolated feature of CSDL that is not referred to in the URL conventions or the format specifications.
> So we know they exist, but we don't know how to call them, or how to represent the results of calling them.
> Also RowType is only used for model functions (the reference to function imports in section 10.4 is a typo).
