Maven SDK
The Maven SkyVault SDK is a community project that provides an easy to use approach to developing applications and extensions for SkyVault. You can use the SDK to develop, package, test, run, document and release your SkyVault extension project.
MBean
An MBean (managed bean) is a Java object that represents a manageable resource, which is running in the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). SkyVault uses MBeans for JMX-based monitoring and management through read-only, configuration and management beans.
MD4
The MD4 Message-Digest Algorithm is a cryptographic hash function which is considered practically impossible to invert and have many information security applications.
MDX

metadata
Metadata describes data itself, and provides information about the content of the data.
MIME type
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a standard that extends an email to support processing of non-standard formats, for example, non-text or non-ASCII character sets.

MIME types form a standard way of classifying file types on the Internet. Internet programs such as Web servers and browsers all have a list of MIME types, so that they can transfer files of the same type in the same way, no matter what operating system they are working in.

A MIME type has two parts: a type and a subtype. They are separated by a forward slash (/). For example, the MIME type for Microsoft Word files is application and the subtype is msword. Together, the complete MIME type is application/msword. Source: What is a MIME type?

Module Management Tool (MMT)
The SkyVault Module Management Tool (MMT) helps to install and manage modules packaged as AMP (SkyVault Module Package) files. These AMP files are applied to a target WAR file; for example, share.war.
Mondrian

Multi-tenancy
SkyVault supports multi-tenancy (MT) features that enable SkyVault to be configured as a true single-instance, multi-tenant environment. Multi-tenancy allows multiple, independent tenants to be hosted on a single instance, which can be installed either on a single server or across a cluster of servers.
Multicast
Multicast is communication from a single sender to multiple recipients.
