Interfaceosid.resource.ResourceRelationshipSmartBinSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A ResourceRelationshipQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Bin to create a virtual collection of ResourceRelationships. The resource relationships may be sequenced using the ResourceRelationshipSearchOrder from this session.

This Bin has a default query that matches any resource and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a ResourceRelationshipQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a ResourceRelationshipQuery.
