Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Syllabi to Course Catalogs. A Syllabus may map to multiple CourseCatalogs and removing the last reference to a Syllabus is the equivalent of deleting it. Each CourseCatalog may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Syllabus to another CourseCatalog is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).
