Markup

Markup is the textual description of data that provides information about the data type. It is the codes and characters that change a text document into an XHTML or other Markup Language document. Text is marked up with elements, delineated by tags that are keywords contained in pairs of angle brackets

Multimedia

Using a computer to present multiple types of media simultaneously, in an integrated manner. These can include sound, graphics, video, text, animation, or any other form of information representation.

MySQL

MySQL is officially pronounced "My Ess Que Ell'' not MY-SEQUEL. But they try to avoid correcting people who say MY-SEQUEL :-) MySQL is a popular relational database system. It is open source and integrates well with PHP. In addition to supporting standard SQL (ANSI), it compiles on a number of platforms and has multithreading abilities on Unix servers, which make for great performance.
