Hello Laura.
I'm Martin the current developer of MMM.
MMM Persons will use the input values to create a html page - we do not
maintain any data or host any pages. The result is a webpage you
download and can do with as you wish (like put it on a web server)
We have numerous different ways of including the rdf/xml data - (dc
metadata and other metadata types too). We either include this in an
external RDF file (which you must also download and host on your
webserver in the same folder) or we include this inside the HTML file.
This "true embedding" approach has the advantage of keeping it in the
same file, reducing administration work, however the techniques are more
experimental and not so well supported.
One of these approaches produces perfectly valid xHTML, the others use
custom DTD's to produce valid xHTML.
We also have a MMM for documents 3.1
http://www.mathematik.uni-osnabrueck.de/cgi-bin/MMM3.1.cgi
and a MMM for Departments 1.0
http://www.math-net.org/cgi-bin/mpm.cgi/
I am currently writing a MMM v4 - for well everything. Which will
automatically generate any question in any language according to a
simple script file & separate language file. Unfortunately every MMM v4
application will require a separate external program to process the
fields to generate the HTML (this might change), but especially to
generate the XML - there is no way for me to know how the results should
be.
If you have an application in mind for MMM v4 I'd love to hear from
you. I'm not at the point of hosting a service for it yet, as I still
have some essential features to include.
My emails aren't always the best - if you have any questions please ask!
Thanks
Martin
