[OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-144) "Scoping" syntax for $select and $aggregate

"Scoping" syntax for $select and $aggregate
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-144
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-144
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData URL Conventions v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: WD01


The current syntax for $select requires to qualify each single included property with its navigation path. We propose an alternative/additional syntax that allows grouping by path:
    $select=Items/(Price,Currency,Quantity,Unit) 

The same notation would be useful for the data aggregation extension:
    $aggregate=Sales/(sum(Amount),average(Amount) as AvgAmt)
