             Summary: Add ability to annotate revisions with information on all elements
                 Key: ODATA-1058
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1058
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: CSDL JSON , CSDL XML, New in OData
         Environment: Schema declarations
            Reporter: George Ericson
            Assignee: George Ericson


Currently there is no defined means to mark revisions to schema.  Some organizations have solved this by convention of creating a new schema for each set of revisions, primarily related only by time.
Each schema represents a new namespace, so we get a proliferation of namespaces.  Type definitions are specific to namespaces, but since the evolving types really represent the same type declaration, they are sub classed across these namespaces.  This creates an unnecessarily complex model.
