Interface WorkSmartOfficeSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
public interface WorkSmartOfficeSession extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A WorkQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Office to create a virtual collection of Works . The works may be sequenced using the WorkSearchOrder from this session.

This Office has a default query that matches any work and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a WorkQueryInspector . The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a WorkQuery .
