          Components: CSDL JSON , CSDL XML

            Reporter: George Ericson


This proposal extends Property to allow a type declared as an EntityType or Singleton.
This is different from a NavigationProperty with ContainsTarget=True, in that the contained entities are not separately addressable;  (either as a property of the EntityContainer or via its key property values and its EntitySet.)

Using an EntityType in a property declaration is useful when storing the value of an Entity or collection of Entities, such as in a log or event record.
