Used in the field of library science. consist of the MARC formats, which are standards for the representation and communication of bibliographic and related information in machine-readable form, and related documentation. It defines a bibliographic data format that was developed by Henriette Avram at the Library of Congress beginning in the 1960s. It provides the protocol by which computers exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information. Its data elements make up the foundation of most library catalogs used today. The record structure of MARC is an implementation of ISO 2709, also known as ANSI/NISO Z39.2.[1] MARC records are composed of three elements: the record structure, the content designation, and the data content of the record. The record structure implements national and international standards (e.g., Z39.2, ISO2709). The content designation is "the codes and conventions established to identify explicitly and characterize ... data elements within a record"[1] and support their manipulation. The content of data elements in MARC records is defined by standards outside the formats such as AACR2, L.C. Subject Headings, and MeSH.

Is a computer program used to manage email. is a program that allows you to receive and send e-mail messages; it's usually just called an e-mail program. To use an MUA such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook, you install the MUA program on your computer and then use it to download and store e-mail messages to your computer; it will also allow you to read or write messages offline. Web-based MUAs, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, store messages on their own mail servers and allow access to them through a Web page.

A signal distribution frame for connecting equipment (inside plant) to cables and subscriber carrier equipment (outside plant). The MDF is a termination point within the local Telephone exchange where exchange equipment and terminations of local loops are connected by jumper wires at the MDF. All cable copper pairs supplying services through user telephone lines are terminated at the MDF and distributed through the MDF to equipment within the local Exchange e.g. repeaters and DSLAM. Cables to intermediate distribution frames terminate at the MDF. Trunk cables may terminate on the same MDF or on a separate Trunk Main Distribution Frame (TMDF).

Ensemble des appareils de telecommunication qui sont installés chez un abonné et qui sont connectés au réseau d'un fournisseur de services.

Is the practice of maintenance and care of health records by traditional and electronic means in hospitals, physician's office clinics, health departments, health insurance companies, and other facilities that provide health care or maintenance of health records. Health informatics and health information technology are utilized in information management.

Is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and procedures by management accountants to solve business problems such as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy. Management information systems are distinct from regular information systems in that they are used to analyze other information systems applied in operational activities in the organization.[1] Academically, the term is commonly used to refer to the group of information management methods tied to the automation or support of human decision making, e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert systems, and Executive information systems.

switches where the operator bind participants manually the recognition that purports to make a call light indicates the participant when lifting the handset and then connect the caller with the number manually.

Business approach or philosophy that focuses on identifying and meeting the stated or hidden needs or wants of the customers, through its own or acquired products.

Private university in Cambridge, famous for its scientific and technological training and research. Founded in 1861, MIT has schools of architecture and planning, engineering, humanities and social sciences, management (the Sloan School), and science and a college of health sciences and technology. Though it is best known for its programs in engineering and the physical sciences, other areas such as economics, political science, urban studies, linguistics, and philosophy are also strong. Among its facilities are a nuclear reactor, a computation centre, geophysical and astrophysical observatories, a linear accelerator, a space research centre, supersonic wind tunnels, an artificial-intelligence laboratory, a centre for cognitive science, and an international-studies centre.

Refers to a development model elicited from actual data. The data were collected from organizations that contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense, who funded the research, and they became the foundation from which CMU created the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). Maturity Levels: a 5-Level process maturity continuum - where the uppermost (5th) level is a notional ideal state where processes would be systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous process improvement.

A device that converts multimedia input into a backbone network and vice versa. A media gateway can be an IP gateway, a circuit switch (telephone switch) or a modem bank.

Definition Megahertz is one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (1, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64) can be manipulated at least one million times per second. A two-gigahertz clock (2 GHz) means at least two billion times. The "at least" is because multiple operations often occur in one clock cycle.

One megabit is equal to one million bits or 1,000 kilobits. While "megabit" sounds similar to "megabyte," a megabit is roughly one eighth the size of a megabyte (since there are eight bits in a byte). Mbps is used to measure data transfer speeds of high bandwidth connections, such as Ethernet and cable modems.

Unit of data storage, 1,048,576 (2 to the 20th power) bytes.

A memory card or flash card is an electronic flash memory data storage device used for storing digital contents. They are commonly used in many electronic devices, including digital cameras, mobile phones, laptop computers, MP3 players, and video game consoles. They are small, re-recordable, and they can retain data without power.

MetaStore is the OECD's corporate facility for the storage, accessing and management of reference metadata for statistics.

Very small or microscopic. Basic or small-scale.

Broadly refers to all Microsoft certifications. But it can also refer to an individual who completes any exam within the program (subject to some exclusions).

A system in which micro mechanisms are coupled with microelectronics, most commonly fabricated as microsensors or micro actuators. Abbreviated MEMS. Also known as microsystem.

Digital wireless transmission system that works in the 2.2-2.4 GHz range. It requires line of sight between transmitter and receiver, which can be 30 or more miles apart. It was designed initially as a one-way service for bringing cable TV to subscribers in remote areas or in locations that are difficult to install cable. MMDS supports approximately 33 analog channels and more than 100 digital channels of TV. In late 1998, the FCC opened up the technology for two-way transmission, enabling MMDS to provide data and Internet services to subscribers.

A subscription-only weekly newsletter focusing on the region’s energy strategies and developments, within their economic and political contexts. MEES charts trends in oil and gas, and the industries that rely on them.

The ICT Fund has a determined mission to provide targeted funding and advisory services to companies, organisations and individuals to empower them to develop the innovation and knowledge capital of the UAE ICT sector with their research, education and entrepreneurship. The Fund strives to promote a culture of entrepreneurship in the UAE ICT sector and improve linkage between industry and academia to ultimately promote the involvement of UAE nationals in the realm of scientific and technology research to foster self-reliance of the UAE in technology creation and development.

In September 2000, the largest ever gathering of Heads of State ushered in the new millennium by adopting the UN Millennium Declaration. By adopting the original declaration in 2000, world leaders affirmed their faith in the Organisation and its Charter “as indispensable foundations of a more peaceful, prosperous and just world”. The Millennium Declaration, endorsed by 189 countries, was then translated into a roadmap setting out eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be reached by 2015.
