Open Issues and Future Tasks

This page lists the pending issues and future tasks in the TSIMMIS project in three categories: Urgent for important issues, Eventually for less important issues, and Maybe for issues which we identified but which we will only tackle if an important reason such as a request by a project partner forces us to. We also maintain a list of issues which have been resolved.
