- An advantage of having a web site with documents conforming to the
MIRCdocument schema is that the content can be easily indexed and shared
over the Internet. Different approaches are available to make the
content of an existing web site accessible through the MIRC community.
These options include: 1) creation of an "index card" for each
document, 2) rebuilding the documents as MIRCdocuments, and 3)
development of a software layer necessary to communicate with a query
service for teaching file systems based on a database. Advantages and
disadvantages of these different approaches are discussed in view of our
experience in making the content of an existing web site MIRC
compatible. In our case we used a combination of approaches. We
preferred index cards for PowerPoint presentations and for complex HTML
documents, and we favored rebuilding the documents as MIRCdocuments for
pages generated from a database.
