OSID - osid.course.chronicle.AssessmentEntrySmartCourseCatalogSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.course.chronicle.AssessmentEntrySmartCourseCatalogSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.course.chronicle.CourseChronicleManager`
Used By	`osid.course.chronicle.CourseChronicleProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. An `AssessmentEntryQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `CourseCatalog` to create a virtual collection of `AssessmentEntries`. The courses may be sequenced using the `AssessmentEntrySearchOrder` from this session. This `CourseCatalog` has a default query that matches any course and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using an `AssessmentEntryQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to an `AssessmentEntryQuery`.
