--------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove / in reference in instance annotation in filter and orderby expression
                 Key: ODATA-1020
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1020
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData URL Conventions
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CSD01
            Reporter: Hubert Heijkers
             Fix For: V4.01_CSD02


In ODATA-933 we allowed using instance annotations in $filter. In doing so we ended up treating annotations as a path segment, matching the path syntax.
Although perhaps perfectly aligned with the path syntax it looks weird to have two separators, both / and @ sign separating the property to which the annotation applies to and the annotation itself. Everywhere else where we, in our JSON payloads, have an annotation, we use property@annotation.
I'd propose we'd amend the resolution of ODATA-933 accordingly and omit the / from the reference to the annotation and therefore address an annotation value on a property as 
NavigationPropertyName@Term#Qualifier instead.
