Definition
<Schema Namespace="Microsoft.Office.Project.Server" . . . >
<EntityContainer Name="ReportingData" m:IsDefaultEntityContainer="true">
<EntitySet Name="Projects" EntityType="ReportingData.Project" />
. . .
<AssociationSet Name="Relation_Projects_Tasks_Tasks_Project_Tasks_Project_Projects_Tasks"
Association="ReportingData.Project_Tasks_Task_Project">
<End Role="Project_Tasks" EntitySet="Projects" />
<End Role="Task_Project" EntitySet="Tasks" />
</AssociationSet>
. . .
</EntityContainer>
</Schema>
For example, the Projects entity set is the collection of data that has the ReportingData.Project entity type. A query such as https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_api/ProjectrData/Projects gets data for all of the projects in the Project Web App instance.
Note
The AssociationSet elements are generated for internal use by Project Server, and are not documented.
Briefly, the AssociationSet that is shown in the Definition section is the collection of project and task associations. That is, the Association element: Project_Tasks_Task_Project relates many tasks to one project and relates the project for each task. The Relation_Projects_Tasks_Tasks_Project_Tasks_Project_Projects_Tasks name of the AssociationSet is internally generated to indicate the collection of all associations of projects to tasks and all associations of tasks to projects. Fortunately, the queries that you create do not directly use association sets.

Remarks
The EntityContainer element is the only child of the Schema element for the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server namespace. The EntityContainer element is the default container that defines the EntitySet elements and AssociationSet elements in the ReportingData schema. An EntitySet element is a collection of entity types. An AssociationSet element is a collection of associations.
Note
The Child elements table lists only the EntitySet elements. Although the OData schema that you get with the https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_api/ProjectrData/$metadata query lists many AssociationSet elements, they are used internally and are not documented.
Project Server uses the EntitySet elements and AssociationSet elements to create SQL queries of the Reporting tables and views in the online Project Server database. You cannot directly access the Project Server database for Project Online.
