                 Key: ODATA-1143
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1143
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: CSDL JSON , CSDL XML
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CS02, V4.0_ERRATA04
         Environment: Schema
            Reporter: George Ericson


This proposal extends Property to allow a type declared as an EntityType or Singleton.
This is different from a NavigationProperty with ContainsTarget=True, in that the contained entities are not separately addressable;  (either as a property of the EntityContainer or via its key property values and its EntitySet.)

Using an EntityType in a property declaration is useful when storing the value of an Entity or collection of Entities, such as in a log or event record.
