Interface AcademicSession

public interface AcademicSession

An institutional context for CourseOfferings, distinguishing one instance of a CanonicalCourse from another. In higher educational institutions, it almost always includes a time range. However, self-paced "sessions" are apparently also possible.

AcademicSession includes a notion of ordering and currency to support queries such as "Find all current course offerings" and "Sort past course offerings in reverse session order".
