     [ https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-482:
-----------------------------

    Proposal: 
Generalize $expand to also allow stream properties and represent the related content in Base64-encoded form. 
Allow $expand=$value for media entities to inline the corresponding media resource in Base64-encoded form as an artificial property, e.g. "$value" or "@odata.media".

  was:
Generalize $expand to also allow stream properties and represent the related content in Base64-encoded form. 
Allow $expand=$value for media entities to inline the corresponding media resource.

> Stream properties are similar to navigation properties as they "defer" content to a separate resource. It would be nice to be able to inline that related content similarly to related entities.
> This could be done by generalizing $expand, by adding a special query option $inline or $include for stream properties, or in $select as proposed in ODATA-10.
