First public review ends September 3rd

OASIS and the OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC are pleased to announce that OData Extension for Temporal Data Version 4.0 is now available for public review and comment.

This specification defines how to represent and interact with time-dependent data using the Open Data Protocol (OData). It defines semantics and a representation for temporal data, including operations for querying and modifying temporal data along with vocabulary terms to annotate which data depends on time, and how.
