> The Edm.String data type can be used to define a type annotation property when the property will hold the name of some other property. A more specific data type could be added to OData for this purpose.
> In the OData Extension for Temporal Data we suggested this annotation:
> <TypeAnnotation Term="Temporal.ApplicationPeriod">
>    <PropertyValue Name="StartPeriod" String="bus_start" />
>    <PropertyValue Name="EndPeriod" String="bus_end" />
> </TypeAnnotation>
> Instead of declaring StartPeriod and EndPeriod to be of type String, we could declare them to be of type PropertyName.
