OData: The Movie
The below diagram highlights all the products that have shipped or announced that support OData.
This is a very impressive list and there are more in the pipeline.
One of the questions I often hear is “That is great, but what is the scenario?”
I’ll admit that I tend to think the scenario(s) should be self-evident, but I am very close to the technology.
In order to answer this question, Pablo put together a video of a concrete, real-world scenario that should resonate well with even the most jaded cynic.

BTW: One of the things that we are looking at going is adding support in SQL Azure for OData. Create a database and get a non-code OData service that you can access from any platform/language over HTTP. If you are interested in this feature, please let use know: Vote for OData Support in SQL Azure.

1. We have and will continue to implement this protocol in our products.
2. We adhere to many of the same design principles and goals that Tim outlined in 2006.
3. We use a different metamodel, ATOM with EDM, which as a model that developed organically during implementation.
4. We have defined query semantics. As I recall the 2006 note wasn’t overly specific in that regard.
