OSID - osid.ontology.rules.RelevancyEnablerOntologySession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.ontology.rules.RelevancyEnablerOntologySession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `RelevancyEnabler` to `Ontology` mappings. A `RelevancyEnabler` may appear in multiple `Ontology` objects. Each ontology may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it. This lookup session defines several views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
Method	canLookupRelevancyEnablerOntologyMappings
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of relevancy enabler/ontology mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a `PERMISSION_DENIED.` This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if looking up mappings is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativeRelevancyEnablerOntologyView
Description	The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryRelevancyEnablerOntologyView
Description	A complete view of the `RelevancyEnabler` and `Ontology` returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	getRelevancyEnablerIdsByOntology
Description	Gets the list of `RelevancyEnablerIds` associated with an `Ontology.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`ontologyId`	`Id` of the `Ontology`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of related relevancy enabler `Ids`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`ontologyId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getRelevancyEnablersByOntology
Description	Gets the list of relevancy enablers associated with an `Ontology.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`ontologyId`	`Id` of the `Ontology`
Return	`osid.ontology.rules.RelevancyEnablerList`		list of related relevancy enablers
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`ontologyId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getRelevancyEnablerIdsByOntologies
Description	Gets the list of `RelevancyEnabler Ids` corresponding to a list of `Ontologies.`
Parameters	`osid.id.IdList`	`ontologyIds`	list of ontology `Ids`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of relevancy enabler `Ids`
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getRelevancyEnablersByOntologies

Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getOntologyIdsByRelevancyEnabler
Description	Gets the `Ontology` `Ids` mapped to a `RelevancyEnabler.`
