What is OData Protocol
OData is an open standard protocol that allows service providers to define access to their resources in a standardized manner. The service definition is available via the service metadata document (EDMX).
OData allows resources (Entity Sets) to be identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and defined in an abstract data model.
