Introduction

Vocabularies provide the ability to annotate metadata as well as instance data, and define a powerful extensibility point for OData.

Annotations that apply across instances should be specified within the metadata. Where the same annotation is defined at both the metadata and instance level, the instance-level annotation should override the annotation specified at the metadata level.

Please be noted:

Getting involved
