                 Key: ODATA-387
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-387
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01
            Reporter: Stefan Drees
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.0_CSD02


The public comment [c201305e00002](https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/odata-comment/201305/msg00002.html) with title "DiscontinuedProducts is a really bad example'" challenges the second example given in the document revision of CSL that participates in CSD01 public review as "really bad at best".

The original poster (OP) further states w.r.t the current example, that: "It means a Product instance changes its entity set when it becomes discontinued, and that means any existing relationships to it become illegal.  There are still Order instances that need to refer to it (assuming it was ordered before it was discontinued), but now they can't intuitively refer to it because it doesn't exist in the Products entity set anymore -- it moved to the DiscontinuedProducts entity set.  An Order entity would need to a DiscontinuedProduct navigation property in order to refer to it.

He then points to an example by Mike Pizzo of exposing a single type across multiple entity sets as provided to the odata.org mailing list [1](http://mailinglist.odata.org/scripts/wa-ODATA.exe?A2=ODATA;bc4700a0.1302).  The commenter thinks, that "Including this example would not only provide a correct example, but it would also demonstrate a situation where the new NavigationPropertyBinding element of EntitySet is required in order to disambiguate the target entity sets of navigation properties."
