New intro text on OData Why and What?

Hi,

I was asked to give an introductionary course on OData. I was please to see the new updated OData tutorals, e.g. Odata in 6 steps. Compliments for who wrote those. This explains the how beautiful.

What is still missing on the OData site is a nice introductionary text.
I something like that planned already? There are some great bits and peaces that can be googled but that go in to much detail or are outdated.

IMHO it should describe:

1. The Why
2. The Where (Name a few open and commercial services that use it).
3. The What (without going into to much specification details but highlight the good parts:
   a. 'JDBC for the web;
   b.being typed via the schema
   c. CRUD
   d. navigating down
   e. SELECT, FILTER
   f. paging top/skip
4. Depending on the audience it can refer to LINQ, Java Streams and or the list monad (without flatmap).
5. Compare to Swagger and Facebook graph

I think the following is to much detail already:
5. Where the EDM comes from and why does the OData type system looks so much like the CLRs.

Start by reviewing the current OData tutorials, especially OData in 6 steps, and the existing introductory material on the site. Define the audience and publication location, then draft an introduction covering why and where OData is used, its core concepts and operations, and concise comparisons with LINQ, Java Streams, Swagger, and Facebook Graph.
