SData 2.0 - an outlook on the upcoming release

We are currently working on the next major version of SData that brings a number of technical additions while maintaining compatibility with the existing 1.1 standard. This means that the current 1.1 specification remains valid - the 2.0 information complements and amends the existing.

The documents previewing the 2.0 release are located in a freely accessible area of our GitHub presence. Please visit us on http://sage.github.com/SData-2.0 to view this information and discover more components developed over time by the SData community.
