Typo cleaned up response: Tim,To cut a long story really short, Mono has not been of strategic interest for years. This is the very first request for anything to do with it, over an 8+ year period.
When I had Mono implemented it was in anticipation of Mono progress as a viable solution for enterprises. Same thing with OData, which for all intents and purposes is a very very poor attempt at RDF based Linked Data, based on a very leaky abstraction.
As par of a significant custom development project I would consider investing in Virtuoso enhancements to OData or Mono. But so far, the justification for such investments just hasn't manifested. Note, I've danced with Microsoft for more than 20 years re., their various data access efforts, and OData is more than likely going the way of OLE-DB, due to leaky abstraction.
Circa. 2013 operating system specificity is truly dead.Is there a specific data access and/or integration challenge that you currently assume the combination of Mono and OData uniquely address i.e., a problem that can't be solved using platform agnostic RDF based Linked Data?
