[edit] IMS - Integrated Management Strategy

Integrated Management Strategy is an intelligent guideline especially prepared for the megasite management purposes. It provides all required information, procedures and tools to guide the megasite manager through the whole megasite management process from the initial screening to the final definition of the remediation scenarios and long term site management plan. It helps to distinguish the areas of the megasite with the highest risk and set up priorities for the level of risk reduction, degree of decontamination and consequentially related investments on the basis of risk assessment for the area. This often allows to minimize the costs of the project and maximize effectiveness by relocating investments into the most endangered areas of the site. The Strategy provides as well a decision making tool for the most effective treatment technology to be applied at the site.

[edit] SQL and DL/I

"SQL owes its heritage to DL/I" is nonsense. SQL is a (somewhat inaccurate) implementation of ideas first raised by Ted Codd - see Relational modelfor history. DL/I (part of Information_Management_System) is the best-known instance of the [Hierarchical model]. So I'm removing the sentence.Philcha 22:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
