             Summary: Consider how to handle namespace conflicts in JSON CSDL format
                 Key: ODATA-1007
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1007
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData CSDL JSON 
    Affects Versions: V4.01_WD01
            Reporter: Michael Pizzo
             Fix For: V4.0_WD01


In our XML format we are able to define aliases for namespaces referenced in external metadata documents, which allows us to disambiguate cases where referenced metadata documents may use the same namespace name.

In the JSON format we want to make things indexed by the namespace-qualified name, which makes it easy and natural to lookup by name.

We need to figure out if/how we address the (presumably uncommon) scenario where two referenced metadata documents use the same name.
