Summary: In this episode, Woody sat down with Mike Flasko at MIX10 to chat about OData that was announced on the second day of the conference. OData is an open protocol for sharing data. It provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data. Thanks to our guest this episode Mike is a Senior Program Manager Lead in the Data and Modeling Group at Microsoft. Mike and his team are focused on the Open Data Protocol (OData) and the WCF Data Services Framework (previously known as Project “Astoria”).
