Which features are associated with Core Data Services?

Core Data Services (CDS) are a key component in the SAP HANA database that provide a way to define and consume semantically rich data models. They allow developers to create views that can encapsulate data logic and structure for consumption in applications.

Annotations are significant because they allow developers to add metadata to CDS entities, which helps in defining how the data should be interpreted and presented. This includes aspects like user interface behaviors, authorization checks, and other business semantics. Annotations enrich the data models and enhance their usability across applications, enabling dynamic behavior and UI elements based on the model itself.

While Structured Query Language (SQL) and Delegation may be part of the broader programming context, and Inheritance plays a role in object-oriented programming concepts, they do not represent the specific features that are unique to Core Data Services. Annotations, however, are fundamentally tied to the design and functionality of CDS, making them a primary feature associated with this technology.
