Ruby implementation of openEHR

h1. Ruby reference implementation of openEHR.

h2. The origin

In 2007, there are no implementation in script language of openEHR. I and Dr Akimichi Tatsukawa (Aki) knew that Ruby and the other script language. I was also bored in the obsoleted environment around medical informatics in Japan. The openEHR project stimulated our intellectual concern directly. Thus, we decided to implement the openEHR in some script language. Ruby was the only language that both I and Aki shared. (But I don't know Ruby much, just be enjoying)

h2. The status and road map

Fortunately, no one disturbed us. Moreover the openEHR.org and many people has concern around us and supported us. Yeah! Tim Cook started the Python project at almost same time and gave us some significant suggestions. Since we are sometimes too busy to develop, the road map is unstable and incredible for even me.

However, I have a presentation in the 7th ICICTH (http://www.ineag.gr/ICICTH/) 2009 in Samos. So the next target version is 'Samos' as 1.0.0 that covers almost all the stable specification models.
