Thanks for replying. I have been struggling withthis subject, feeling there is something useful, yet not being able to get my head around it. I have always been a slow thinker, but now I believe I understand the function and usefulness of a MOC.
To use your example, on the MOC note you could e.g. next to [[Tabby Cats]] write a short explanatory sentence of what tabby cats are, or where you picked up that name, or …… whatever.
Next to [[Bengal Cats]] you could insert an image of such a cat, or a map of the region of Bengal, or …… whatever.
That way, for your Cat project, you have a link to all the relevant notes, as well as some context (you could call it metadata) about certain aspects.
And when the project is completed, you will keep all the individual notes, but you can decided to keep the MOC too or ditch it.
In other words, a MOC is 1 notes that brings together all the info + metadata about the project.
Have I understood it well, or am I still off track?
