The CData Excel Add-In for LinkedIn models entities in the LinkedIn API as tables, views, and stored procedures. These are defined in schema files, which are simple, text-based configuration files. The add-in uses the LinkedIn API to process supported filters. The add-in processes other filters client-side within the add-in.

Views

Views are tables that cannot be modified. Typically, read-only data are shown as views.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.
