  1. Because of #1, I have to encode the results or the query into a URL (I opted for the query using Base64 and GZip).
 
-To accommodate this, it takes the query as the post and then uses a distributed XQuery to get the results and process them when they are requested by MindSeer.

-While this diagram captures the XBrain System fairly accurately (with some simplification and completely leaving off the 2D image view), it fails to show how things are connected.  Conceptually, you can imagine distributed XQuery (dxquery) binding the system together.  Currently, there is no centralized server or library that does dxquery, but instead each component can use its own dxquery engine (unfortunately each engine has its own syntax).  In this case, MindSeer is integrated using AngloSaxon and the other components are integrated using a degenerate form of dxquery (just shipping the query and getting a document).

As you can see in the image below, DXQuery (via DXQP) is what binds the whole system together on the backend and the XBrain portal is just the opening page.

- 1. The XQuery is encoded and placed in the MindSeer launching file (JNLP file) as a URL
