OSID - osid.ontology.RelevancySearchSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.ontology.RelevancySearchSession
Implements	`osid.ontology.RelevancyQuerySession`
Description	This session provides methods for searching `Relevancy` objects. The search query is constructed using the `RelevancyQuery.` The relevancy record `Type` also specifies the record for the relevancy query. `getRelevanciesByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of relevancies. A more advanced search may be performed with `getRelevanciesBySearch().` It accepts a `RelevancySearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getRelevanciesBySearch()` returns a `RelevancySearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `RelevancyList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through `RelevancySearch.` This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching. federated ontology view: searches include relevancies in ontologies of which this ontology is a ancestor in the ontology hierarchy isolated ontology view: searches are restricted Relevancies may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `RelevancyQuery.`
