OSID — Ontology Entities

Osid Object Federateable

A Subject represents a span of time and an optional location. Subjects may be managed individually, or in repeatable sets using RecuringSubject.

Like all OsidObjects, Subject is managed by its OsidSessions and may not be accessed by concurrent processing threads.
