OSID - osid.workflow.rules.StepProcessorSmartOfficeSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.workflow.rules.StepProcessorSmartOfficeSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic office. a `StepProcessorQuery` can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this `Office` to create a virtual collection of step processors. The step processor may be sequenced using the `StepProcessorSearchOrder` from this session. This `Office` has a default query that matches any step processor and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a `StepProcessorQueryInspector.` The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a `StepProcessorQuery.`
Method	getOfficeId
Description	Gets the `Office` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Office Id` associated with this session
