[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-1107) Introduce instance annotation to specify which types an instance "implements"
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=67181#comment-67181 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-1107:
-----------------------------------

In which cases would this be useful?

In order to get the instance annotation, the instance needs to have been read already.

> With the new "MayImplement" annotation, and semantics around using a cast segment to cast to an type outside of the hierarchy we introduce a powerful new way of supporting "dynamic interfaces" which may be supported by some instances but not others.
> What we don't have is a way to specify, for a particular instance, which types (outside of the hierarchy) it supports.
