Hi Ross, I think MetaModel could potentially have an oData module as well, making it possible to use an oData source just like any other data source. I think the main difference between oData and MetaModel, if you look at it from a helicopter view, is that oData attempts to standardize the server side of things by building a uniform protocol. MetaModel attempts to standardize the client side of things, by having a common abstraction layer. Thus, MetaModel does not have any specific protocol, just an API. There's pros and cons of that of course, but in deed both client side and server side standardization is attractive to have. So a MetaModel-oData module would be cool, making it possible to work with your sharepoint or netflix systems, just like you would work with your JDBC database or CSV file :)
