------------------------------------

             Summary: Enhance the CSDL for instance annotations
                 Key: ODATA-735
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-735
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: V4.0_ERRATA01
            Reporter: Matthew Borges
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA02


There are two parts to this issue:

1) The AppliesTo attribute of edm:Term can only be used to refer to metadata-based annotations.  It would be desirable to enhance this so that it can also be used for instance annotations.  I discussed this with Ralf, and he suggested one approach would be to update AppliesTo to also allow terms like:

TypeInstance, CollectionInstance, EntityTypeInstance, ReferenceInstance, etc. or even just Instance

2) There is currently no way to include in the metadata document what instance annotations can be expected for particular types.  We should also allow this information in the metadata document.
