ODATA
Open Data Protocol (OData) is an open protocol that allows for the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way. Microsoft initiated OData in 2007. Soon after that, OData became a standardized protocol of the OASIS OData Technical Committee consisting of CA Technologies, Citrix Systems, IBM, Microsoft, Progress Software, Red Hat, SAP SE, and SDL.
