OSID - osid.assessment.AssessmentOfferedAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.assessment.AssessmentOfferedAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `AssessmentsOffered.` The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an `AssessmentOffered,` an `AssessmentOfferedForm` is requested using `getAssessmentOfferedFormForCreate()` specifying the assessment and desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `AssessmentOfferedForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `AssessmentOfferedForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `AssessmentOfferedForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `AssessmentOfferedForms` are requested to the `AssessmentOffered` `Id` that is to be updated using `getAssessmentOfferedFormForUpdate().` Similarly, the `AssessmentOfferedForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `AssessmentOfferedForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `AssessmentsOffered.` To unmap an `AssessmentOffered` from the current `Bank,` the `AssessmentOfferedBankAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `AssessmentOffered` itself thus removing it from all known `Bank` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned Id.
