Jack, read your email with interest, I to am new to this but found you issues quite pertinent althought I have two questions.
firstly, given the nature of the data (encrypted) are you abidicating that the descriptor information should be a representation of the encrypted data or the normal data. I ask because this obviously has a relation to the size of the descriptor field itself and the scalability of the database later. secondly, given the nature of the data transmission (where its needed most and decentralised) how do you envisage the data base search actually working? Are we talking about a document originating at one node and every time it moves a central index being updated or are we talking about leaving a crumb whereever the document goes saying where it moved to? Obviously the second method means that after a while the retreival of the document would become tiresome as you woiuld have to pass through many nodes to get it.
