Abstract:

The development of an environmental management system according with ISO 14000 requirements can be a complex process that can be finished with unsatisfying results. We have designed a kernel of an intelligent information system for environmental information management. The system is called SIIMMed that is the acronym in Romanian language of Intelligent Information System for Environmental Management. The system architecture design has two main goals: to follow the steps and to document the structures requested by the ISO 14000 standards and to guide the user for designing himself his environmental information management system. We use a modularization structure with a unique user interface and two information modules, i.e. an information model for data structuring and a communication model. The system can be configured for any organization of any size, helping the user to develop and maintain a particularly environmental management system in compliance with standards ISO 14000.
