This repository defines the following SAP vocabularies:

• Analytics: Analytical resources
• CodeList: Code Lists
• Common: Semantics common to all types of APIs
• Communication: Contact information based on vCard
• DataIntegration: Data Integration
• DirectEdit: Terms for Direct-Edit User Interfaces - experimental
• Graph: SAP Graph - experimental

These vocabularies complement the OASIS OData Vocabularies published by the OASIS OData Technical Committee.

To learn how to construct an annotation value from a term definition, or vice versa, look here:

• Annotation Cheat-Sheet for CSDL JSON
• Annotation Cheat-Sheet for CSDL XML
• Annotation Cheat-Sheet for CAP CDS

Vocabulary-based annotations fully replace the old SAP Annotations for OData Version 2.0
