             Summary: $links clarifications
                 Key: OLINGO-661
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLINGO-661
             Project: Olingo
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: odata2-core
            Reporter: James Iggulden
            Priority: Minor


Please could I clarify the following re the $links function:

1) Should $links support pagination of the resulting links? If so, how exactly 
should the paging link be provided in the response?

2) When an entity is addressed via the public odata.org feed, link elements are 
provided of the form:

<link 
rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/relatedlinks/Products";
 type="application/xml" title="Products" href="Categories(1)/$links/Products" />

Is this mandatory? It seems odd when elsewhere in the metadata the entity link 
is declared e.g.

<link 
rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/Products"; 
type="application/atom+xml;type=feed" title="Products" 
href="Categories(1)/Products" />

Isn't the $links just implicit?

Many thanks.
