Thanks, Florian = Apache Olingo Proposal = === Abstract === Apache Olingo is a generic Java language implementation of the OData 2.0 specification which will serve as a code base for the upcoming OASIS OData specification. === Proposal === The Open Data Protocol (OData) [1] is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. The Apache Olingo is a library which enables developers to implement OData producers and OData consumers. Basic principles of the library are to provide an OData 2.0 specification compliant OData Library, enhancements shall be possible in a compatible manner, have a clear separation between Core and API, to provide an option to build extensions on top. This library should be base for implementing future releases of the specification. === Background === OData was originally developed by Microsoft and is released in a version 2.0 under an Open Specification Promise [2]. A lot of companies did show interests in this protocol, used it in products and gave feedback back to Microsoft. This joined effort resulted in a new release OData 3.0 in 2012, this version became the basis for the OASIS technical committee [3] which is currently working on a new version of the specification. This OASIS standard release is expected this year. The initial Java code of this project was developed by a development team that had already experience with other OData 2.0 and 3.0 implementations at SAP AG. The current code base implements OData 2.0 and because of this version is widely used it is a good starting point to build an open source community for the OData standard. The current code also comes up with an implementation of an OData sample service. On the one side this is an example for users which want to use the library to expose their own data and on the other side it illustrates how implemented features work. Additionally, the code base includes an extension which is called JPA processor. With this extension it is easy to expose any JPA persistence model via OData protocol without a lot of coding. === Rationale === More software vendors moving to OData means more choice for customers who will be able to use different implementations. For the standard to succeed, however, ensuring interoperability is paramount: in order to manage an ever growing context and leverage the enormous portability and interoperability issues that a globally adopted standard brings, it is necessary to think about how to make the related ecosystem healthy and sustainable. Successful modern standards are driven by: Clear documentation, built iteratively with continuous feedback from stakeholders A clearly defined compatibility process, enforced by tools that allow to gauge how implementations can be compatible and interoperable Accurate compliance criteria, documented in writing as well as in actual testing code that measure how tools and libraries are able to interoperate A sample implementation to clear up potential doubts and ensure that the standard can actually be implemented in real life scenarios The above mentioned pieces are able to make the development activity, towards an OData implementation, easier and more successful. Having an healthy ecosystem will ensure a smoother implementation process, more compliant products, and ultimately, a wider adoption of the standard. The OData ecosystem has been successful in creating and documenting early versions of the standard, yet it might potentially lack two very important aspects, that is a exhaustive implementation of the complete protocol that can be used productively and to ensure interoperability.
