OSID - osid.repository.rules.CompositionEnablerSmartRepositorySession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.repository.rules.CompositionEnablerSmartRepositorySession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic repositories. A `CompositionEnablerQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Repository` to create a virtual collection of composition enablers. The composition enablers may be sequenced using the `CompositionEnablerSearchOrder` from this session. This `Repository` has a default query that matches any composition enabler and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `CompositionEnablerQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `CompositionEnablerQuery.`
Method	getRepositoryId
