OData stands for "Open Data Protocol" and is a resource-based web protocol for querying and updating data. It is released by Microsoft under the Open Specification Promise to allow anyone to freely interoperate with OData implementations. OData defines operations on resources using HTTP verbs (GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE), and it identifies those resources using a standard URI syntax. Data is transferred over HTTP using the Atom or JSON format.
OData for SAP Products provide SAP Extensions to the OData protocol that enable users to build user interfaces for accessing the data published via OData. The interfaces require human-readable, language-dependent labels for all properties and free-text search within collections of similar entities and across (OpenSearch).
