Define standard client-side function for filling URL templates (RFC6570)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-257
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-257
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL v1.0
    Affects Versions: WD01
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: WD01


In mashup scenarios it is often the case that a third party can detect a rule that allows constructing URLs from information provided in an entity that allow navigation to other resources in the web.

Annotations allow to express these construction rules via the odata.concat client-side function, but that can become tedious if the URL patterns to construct are non-trivial.

RFC6570 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570) defines a simple notation for URL templates and a simple set of rules on how to translate the template and a set of variable values into a URL.
