OData Version 4 – A Major Advance in BYOB Connectivity
Posted on:Well folks I have been part of a great group of people who have wowed me with both their smarts, their work effort, and their work deliverables. I am proud of the OData Technical
Committee and what they have accomplished. This committee of OASIS has extended and created a technical specification based upon an original specification of an open data protocol called OData. OData can be related to RDF – another global standard for computer
connectivity. The Western democracies are opening their government’s data and changing the paradigm to “open” by default as opposed to “hidden or closed user group” by default. This OData protocol is an enabler of this while speeding up the cycle of delivery of data to mobile and citizenry devices. It is the infrastructure live
blood to the body politic of mobile device connectivity between client and server – acting as an ODBC for the Internet.
Don’t let the technical jargon baffle you. This is big – a foundational piece for all doing web technologies and it is OPEN, AVAILABLE NOW, and just so well architected. See your book seller or the
internet for more and ask your technical leads why it is important.
