2 Anatomy of an SData URL
SData uses URLs to address the resources, resource collections, schemas and service operations that are exposed by a service.
This section gives an overview of the SData URL syntax. Its subsections describe the URLs for various resources that are exposed by an SData service:
- Resource collection

The following subsections describe features that apply to several URL types:

The last subsection describes how non ASCII characters should be encoded in internationalized URLs.
