'Load Scene' 'Import Scene' and 'Add Data' options in Slicer all encapsulate two steps:  
 
* searching for a dataset, usually accomplished through a file browser, and
 
* selecting a dataset for loading.
 
 
 
For loading remote datasets, we have options for breaking these two steps apart explicitly, or binding them together under the hood.  
 
 
 
'''Breaking apart find data and load data: '''
 
 
 
'''Bundlng together find data and load data: '''

'''Possible workflow 1'''
 
* From the Load Scene file browser, user types in a uri of remote mrml file.
 
* MRML Scene's Connect method retrieves the remote file, caches it locallly if requested, parses the file, and
 
 
 
 
 
'''Possible workflow 2'''
 
* From a 'revised' Add Data interface, user performs remote HID query for available data
 
 
 
'''Possible workflow 3'''
 
* User downloads .xcat file to disk using the HID web interface
 
* From the Load Scene file browser, user selects the .xcat archive. If no locally cached versions exist, remote files are downloaded to /tmp directory (locally cached) and then loaded into Slicer via a vtkMRMLStorageNode method.
 
 
 
'''Possible workflow 4'''
 
* User downloads .xcat file to disk using the HID web interface
 
* From the Load Scene file browser, user selects the .xcat  archive. If no locally cached versions exist, remote files are cached locally only if a flag is set, and loaded directly into Slicer via a vtkMRMLStorageNode method.
