OSID - osid.recognition.ConferralSmartAcademySession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.recognition.ConferralSmartAcademySession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.recognition.RecognitionManager`
Used By	`osid.recognition.RecognitionProxyManager`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A `ConferralQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Academy` to create a virtual collection of `Conferrals`. The awards may be sequenced using the `ConferralSearchOrder` from this session. This `Academy` has a default query that matches any conferral and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `ConferralQueryInspector`. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `ConferralQuery`.
