[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-618) Allow using term names in positions that allow type names

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

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=60933#comment-60933 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-618:
----------------------------------

This becomes tricky for terms that declare a base term: for annotations this means that there must be an annotation with the base term whenever there is an annotation with the "derived/extended" term. 
What would this mean if a term with a base term is used as the type of a property:
- must there be a property on the same level that is typed with the base term? 
- or is the base term ignored?
- or is it forbidden that terms with a base term are used as types? 
Model evolution: is adding a BaseTerm to an existing term a compatible or a breaking change?

> Terms have a declared type plus additional semantics, so using term names in place of type names seems natural.
