MAP INDEX
see INDEX MAP.
MANAGED RESOURCE
a user object (e.g. "
to")
resource.
MEDIA
streams and files of text, sound, music, images, animation, video, or interaction; see also
Multimedia and
New Media.
MULTIMEDIA
streams and files of any combination of
media;
see also New Media.
MEMBERSHIP
is all about rights and privileges, providing
access to
resources,
services,
subscriptions, and
registration MESSAGE
available in SOA,
eMail, XML, batch, HTTP, JMS, RMI, JINI, and other standards,
they are typically requests for
services
invocations or responses from service invocations.
METADATA
formalized datastructure specifications, or the information about the information;
DNAOS
metadata is managed as DNAOS
resources
and can be defined, modified, extended, accessed, and communicated.
METAPHOR
useful user interface
tools, metaphors, like the computer 'desktop', application 'windows' and 'mouse' pointing
are common and fairly well understood UI metaphors; their use and usefulness increase as sophistication increases;
they are indispensable in interactive 3D knowledge sharing network applications.
METERING
the metering
services combine
accounting and
workflow services,
to provide real-time measurement and costing for consumed
resources in
sessions;
invoicing
services, for example, can then use this information.
MODEL
Resource representation;
e.g. the result artifact from
Modeling,
designed to provide logical overviews of structures and
processes.
MODELING
Defining, Representing, and Shaping
Resources like
Business,
Processes, and
Applications.
MONITOR
see Monitoring.
MONITORING
monitoring applications provide remote measurement, monitoring, and management of
electrical and electronic equipment; some examples are presented in the
DNAOS Applications
section; as an additional issue, monitoring application are usually coupled to
control applications so that
equipment can be monitored and controlled, doubling the required number of acquisition/control
channels and data streams. Yet other issues combine and force a further consideration:
distribution and
security, as in web-based distributed
data/content security.
