Interfaceosid.resource.demographic.DemographicSmartBinSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic bins. A DemographicQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Bin to create a virtual collection of demographics. The demographic may be sequenced using the DemographicSearchOrder from this session.

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