The document discusses the Open Data Protocol (OData), which is an open specification that allows the creation of REST-based data services that support built-in operations like CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and querying capabilities. OData builds on fundamental web standards like HTTP, URI conventions, and XML or JSON for payloads to define a protocol that can be used for exposing and consuming data across systems via REST. The specification also covers addressing schemes, payloads, metadata, batching requests, and how OData can be implemented using technologies like WCF Data Services.

- 5. key points involvedhere? 1. HTTP as the transport What’s so great about 2. URI that?indicates resource 1) Simplicity 3. VERB indicates action 2) Low barrier to entry 4. STATUS CODE3) Standardised indicates outcome technologies already proven on the internet 5. XML as the payload(s)
- 6. ready to build? before you get to technologies 1) URI scheme for addressing resources? 2)someone must have (MVC) this WCF Can client compose done (REST) (REST) LINQ to XML additional ASP.NET WCF queries? already? 3) XML payload format? JSON WebClient IIS as well? 4) client payload format with Sharing service clients? 5) Including/linking to related data?
