Package org.osid.cataloging.rules
The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.cataloging.rules service.
The Cataloging Rules OSID includes rules services to manage rules applied to Catalogs.
CatalogEnabler Rule
A CatalogEnabler is an OsidRule that operates the
enabling and disabling of a Catalog within a federated hierarchy.
An active Catalog is one that actively particpates in the
federation resulting in the inclusion of any OsidObjects mapped to
the Catalog and that of any of its descendants. An inactive Catalog
effecively hides the mapped OsidObjects and that of its descendants
from the federation. In either case, the Catalog itself is visible
in the federated hierarchy.
Catalog Cataloging
CatalogEnablers are also cataloged in Catalogs . In the
Catalog OSID, care must be taken to distinguish between the
CatalogEnablers mapped to a Catalog for the purpose of cataloging
and the CatalogEnablers applied to Catalog.
