11.2.3 OData services MAY/SHOULD/MUST expose their data model
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-408
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-408
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OData Protocol 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01
            Reporter: Patrick Durusau


Checking against the conformance clauses:

OData Minimal Conformance Level is missing: "MAY publish metadata at /$metadata according to [OData-CSDL] (section Metadata Document Request)"

OData Intermediate Conformance Level has: "SHOULD publish metadata at /$metadata according to [OData-CSDL] (section Metadata Document Request)"

OData Advanced Conformance Level has: "MUST publish metadata at /$metadata according to [OData-CSDL] (section Metadata Document Request)"

Suggest defining OData Metadata Service at 11.2.3, therefore delete: "OData services MAY/SHOULD/MUST expose their data model as an OData Metadata Service." and let the conformance clauses refer to this section to say may, should or must.

Just a nit, I would say "A" metadata service..., since not every conforming OData implementation will offer a metadata service. And "A" Metadata Service Document URL, same reasoning.
