Interface AssessmentOfferedBankSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface AssessmentOfferedBankSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to retrieve AssessmentOffered to Bank mappings. An AssessmentOffered may appear in multiple Banks. Each Bank may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it.

This lookup session defines two views:

• comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
• plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
