[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-227) Support of symbolic names in annotations

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-227?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32399#action_32399 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-227:
----------------------------------

Using the @ sign as the separator for named stream properties feels odd, because until now we don't differentiate in CSDL Path expressions by property type. Accessing a display.hidden annotation on a property would be

Path="PropertyName/display.hidden"

independently of whether the property is primitive or complex or navigation. So 

Path="NamedStream/odata.mediaReadLink"

looks more natural than 

Path="NamedStream@odata.mediaReadLink"

Thoughts?

> An Annotation should be able to use one of a set of pre-defined symbolic names when specifying a value.
> For example, the value of the "MovieURL" Annotation should  be the MediaRessource of the "Movie" type (which is a Media Link Entry).
