Description:

The goal of the EsiObjects™ Open Source project is to evolve the ANSI Standard MUMPS language and database technology into a modern object oriented language and persistent object store that can be integrated into mainstream, state-of-the-art technologies.

EsiObjects™('easy objects') is a product of ESI Technology Corporation. It was put under Open Source licensing to offer the world community an excellent object oriented development and runtime system based on the time proven MUMPS (M) technology.

Includes Optional Packages
http://www.esiobjects.org/downloads/downloads.htm

There are several other packages that you may find useful. The packages are listed below with a short description. Select the link to the package you want to download.

    * EsiQuery is an implementation of the Object Data Management Groups (ODMG) Object Query Language. It is an add-on package that permits SQL like queries.
    * EsiDoc is an abstract document management package. It is capable of storing different documents. Currently, it supports XML documents.
    * EsiParser contains a set of java files that implement EsiObjects code generation classes for ANTLR. ANTLR (Another Tool for Language Recognition) is a parser and translator generator that is available through an Open Source License.
    * EsiORB is an implementation of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). It consists of the communications only. Services have not been implemented.
    * EsiProxy is designed to handle incoming (client) TCP connections and makes appropriate server side connections. Its purpose is to provide better support for making and establishing connections to an EsiObjects session or an EsiORB CORBA connection by hiding underlying shortcomings of the host MUMPS system.

EsiObjects and Mumps get used in software for the banking industry, and along with one of the *vista range of programs get used in the Medical Industry.

Hi Alessandro,

Please do not remove tags, without explaining why - especially if you want to remove "All" of the tags except the "needs-packaging" one.

Hi IanW,

Thank you for the useful link for tags.

I hadn't realized that tags was for specific use "only",and was not meant to be used in the usual web sense of meta-tags which allows the use of relevant words.

You may have seen that the words that I used in tags were helpful for very rapidly figuring out what the relevant topics were for the package being suggested (in the needs-packaging request).

It would have been helpful to have been able to copy these across to the "description" or "notes", before being deleted.

The top of the page you have referred to at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags

has the following statement
"This page is part of the Bug Squad's KnowledgeBase - pages with information about how to triage bugs."

The knowledgebase referred to is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/KnowledgeBase

This information appears to be taylored for the bug squad, and is not for the typical bug report user, for whom this page is overkill on extraneous information.

Q1) In consideration of all the other people who submit bug reports (now and in future),
can you please show which page they are expected to come across a link to this information,
in the course of learning how to make a bug report.

If a page for bug report users is not available with the information for tags use on it, then it would be helpful to have one.
Furthermore - it would be extremely useful to have a link to it "from the bug report page".

There is little point to having "thou shalt not"s if the people can't find out about them in obvious places.
For example
"No parking" signs get placed at the side of the road - nobody puts a sign inside the shop saying "you shouldn't have parked outside" while at the same time refusing to place a sign outside on the street.

Thank you for helping me (to help you, to help me help you, helping me ... )
