Long Term Value

HyperCat allowed replacement of OData interface

HyperCat is light weight compared to OData for this use

Simpler client librariesSmaller server implementation

OData contains many features we did not needSorting, filtering, grouping

Open extensible semantics of catalogues means we can add information to the catalogues with easeEcosystem of client libraries for accessing catalogue

Making it easy for customers to access
