[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-34) Control verbosity of $metadata response: include annotations or documentation

[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-34?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31862#action_31862 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-34:
------------------------------------

Minor edit; the name of the prefer header should be "odata-annotations", not "odata-vocabularies". We use vocabularies to refer to sets of annotations within a common namespace, but the term "vocabulary" is not actually part of the format/etc. We're really talking about which annotations to use.

> Metadata documents may contain Documentation, ValueAnnotation and TypeAnnotation elements that quite increase the size of the document.
> It is desirable for (especially mobile) clients to control the size of the response and include e.g. only annotations of vocabularies the client can understand.
> This may be done via headers (Prefer, Accept?), system query options, or by exposing $metadata as an OData service itself, see ODATA-126:
> GET ~/$metadata/EntityTypes('Model.Person')?$expand=Annotations
> Ideally combined with filtering on expanded entities, see ODATA-32.
