OSID - osid.personnel.PositionSmartRealmSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.personnel.PositionSmartRealmSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.personnel.PersonnelManager`
Used By	`osid.personnel.PersonnelProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `PositionQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Realm` to create a virtual collection of `Positions`. The positions may be sequenced using the `PositionSearchOrder` from this session. This `Realm` has a default query that matches any position and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `PositionQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `PositionQuery`.
