OSID - osid.resourcing.AvailabilityFoundrySession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.resourcing.AvailabilityFoundrySession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `Availability` to `Foundry` availabilities. An `Availability` may appear in multiple `Foundry` objects. Each foundry may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it. This lookup session defines several views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
Method	canLookupAvailabilityFoundryAvailabilities
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of availability/foundry mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if looking up availabilities is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativeAvailabilityFoundryView
Description	The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryAvailabilityFoundryView
Description	A complete view of the `Availability` and `Foundry` returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	getAvailabilityIdsByFoundry
Description	Gets the list of `Availability Ids` associated with a `Foundry.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`foundryId`	`Id` of the `Foundry`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of related availability `Ids`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`foundryId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`foundryId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getAvailabilitiesByFoundry
Description	Gets the list of `Availabilities` associated with a `Foundry.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`foundryId`	`Id` of the `Foundry`
Return	`osid.resourcing.AvailabilityList`		list of related availabilities
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`foundryId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`foundryId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getAvailabilityIdsByFoundries
Description	Gets the list of `Availability Ids` corresponding to a list of `Foundries.`
Parameters	`osid.id.IdList`	`foundryIds`	list of foundry `Ids`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of availability `Ids`
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`foundryIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getAvailabilitiesByFoundries
Description	Gets the list of `Availabilities` corresponding to a list of `Foundries.`
Parameters	`osid.id.IdList`	`foundryIds`	list of foundry `Ids`

Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`foundryIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getFoundryIdsByAvailability
Description	Gets the `Foundry` `Ids` mapped to an `Availability.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`availabilityId`	`Id` of an `Availability`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of foundries
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`availabilityId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`availabilityId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getFoundriesByAvailability
Description	Gets the `Foundries` mapped to an `Availability.`
