Mini:Strobili server
The Strobili server is the back-end part of Strobili applications. Strobili servers store the cones that create the knowledge space of the application and handle requests from session managers, to retrieve lists of seeds and next cones, update ranking indicators, etc.
[edit] Architecture
Strobili servers are very easy to implement over a classical 3-tier object-oriented database, with the front tier accepting client requests, the middle tier managing an object oriented representation of the knowledge space (or of a part of it, as a single knowledge space can be easily distributed over several servers) and the back tier being a permanent storage of the knowledge space data in a relational database form.
