2.2.6.2.9 Collection Property

A collection property on an EntityType that is not otherwise mapped through a customizable feed property mapping MUST be represented within the m:properties element of the atom:entry and MUST contain one child element for each collection property of the represented EntityType instance. Each child element representing a collection property MUST be defined in the data service namespace (http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices), and the element name must be the same as the property it represents, as described in Collection Property of Complex Type (section 2.2.6.2.9.1) and Collection of EDMSimple Type (section 2.2.6.5.7). An attribute named "type" (in the Data Service Metadata namespace), as described in Common Serialization Rules for XML-based Formats (section 2.2.6.1), MAY exist on the element representing the collection as a whole.
