Interaction between MDEX Engine and Workbench

Endeca Workbench queries the MDEX Engine for information and publishes configuration to it.

Experience Manager queries the MDEX Engine for record and dimension information that a content administrator can use to configure dynamic content.
Examples:

1. Specifying a navigation state as part of a location trigger
2. Selecting records or a navigation state for content spotlighting
3. Selecting records or dimension values for boost and bury

Workbench publishes configuration to the MDEX Engine, including:

1. Content item configuration from Experience Manager
2. Content collections
3. Thesaurus entries
