OSID - osid.course.registration.ActivityRegistrationSmartCourseCatalogSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.course.registration.ActivityRegistrationSmartCourseCatalogSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.course.registration.CourseRegistrationManager`
Used By	`osid.course.registration.CourseRegistrationProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. An `ActivityRegistrationQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `CoursOfferingeCatalog` to create a virtual collection of `ActivityRegistrations`. The activity registrations may be sequenced using the `ActivityRegistrationSearchOrder` from this session. This `CourseCatalog` has a default query that matches any activity registration and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using an `ActivityRegistrationQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to an `ActivityRegistrationQuery`.
