DAME is an e-Science pilot project, demonstrating the use of the GRID to implement a distributed decision support system for deployment in maintenance applications and environments.
It is funded by the EPSRC under the UK e-Science programme, and is one of six EPSRC projects launched in the first phase of e-Science funding.
DAME will demonstrate how the GRID and web services (based on OGSA) can facilitate the design and development of systems for diagnosis and maintenance applications which combine geographically distributed resources and data within a localised decision support system.

Dame Edna?
She is the equivalent to a "Knight", or so I'm told.

it's a command from the verb Dar or to give.
Me is a direct object pronoun. When you give a command, use the 3rd person singular.(the same conjugation for he/she/or it)
Then stick the verb together with the direct object pronoun.
and you have "dame"
or give me.
