Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-333:
----------------------------------

To C: wouldn't the ER diagram of the Metadata Service (ODATA-126) be that picture?

> This is based on my review of the latest revision [OData Core Part 1: Protocol, Version 4.0](https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/48762/odata-core-v4.0-wd01-part1-protocol-current-2013-4-5MP.docx).
> The section on entity data model must be hard to read, as it tries to describe a survival guide for a generic model, where it comes to the nitty-gritty. 
> That's ok. I am fine with that. First we really need the nitty-gritty details and second we are not writing children books. 
> But maybe we can do better.
> A) One problem for the astute reader seems to lie in the details of adjectives/attributes to the main terms.
> B) Another are related terms we introduce.
> C) Third the topological complexity, that cries for a parallel depict through a picture or some pictures.
> To A)
> Differentiating between an Entity and a Named Entity is one example
> To B)
> The wrapper in specific where to segragate from the Entity Container ...
> To C)
> I may volunteer to paint some :-) maybe during the prep phase of the face to face in Walldorf as to receive early feedback and converge fast.
> Assume one for entity -> entities
> Another for relationships external and derived
> Yet another for containers and their objects (entities, actions, functions) showing also wrappers maybe as top-level hull for other "things"?
