What is a MOC?

  1. ADVANTAGES: Use an MOC for a complex project with many moving parts which may be interrelated to other complex projects. So using a folder for each project will only capture some of the info; other necessary data may be held in folders for other similar projects, so an MOC will be an index with links to various documents, no matter which folders they reside in. This gives a constructed at-a-glance view of the project or topic, and can have commentary on how the items are related, unlike a saved search, and beyond simply tagging related items.
  2. DISADVANTAGES: Upkeep will be needed from time to time as the project grows. If the MOC page is also used as a log or as a landing page while the project goes forward, this may not be too burdensome.
