Interfaceosid.offering.rules.CanonicalUnitEnablerSmartCatalogueSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogues. A CanonicalUnitEnablerQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Catalogue to create a virtual collection of canonical unit enablers. The canonical unit enablers may be sequenced using the CanonicalUnitEnablerSearchOrder from this session.

This Catalogue has a default query that matches any canonical unit enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a CanonicalUnitEnablerQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a CanonicalUnitEnablerQuery.
