    ODS API for data access & manipulation

    The code location is the ods_controllers.sql file from the ODS package.

    All requests are authorized via one of :

    1. HTTP authentication (not yet supported)
    2. OAuth
    3. VSPX session (sid & realm)

    The authenticated account becomes the effective user.

    • composite parameters: atom-pub, OpenSocial XML format
