    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1088?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=66729#comment-66729 ] 

Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-1088:
-----------------------------------

Chapter 14 already states that annotations can be applied both to schema elements ("metadata annotations") and on instance level, see http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata-csdl-xml/v4.01/csprd01/odata-csdl-xml-v4.01-csprd01.html#_Toc472333098:

[...] Where the same annotation is defined at both the metadata and instance level, the instance-level annotation overrides the annotation specified at the metadata level. Instance annotations appear in the actual payload as described in [OData JSON]. Annotations that apply across instances should be specified as metadata annotations. [...]

> My assumption is that an annotation applied to a schema element will apply to all instances of that schema element.
> There are some examples where groups are proposing to apply annotations to specific schema instances.
