Release notes for RELMA®.

Previously, we distributed separate builds of RELMA for multilingual searching in languages other than Enlgish. In this latest version, RELMA now uses the open source Lucene engine for all of its searching, including foreign languages. RELMA builds the necessary indexes for searching in these languages when the user selects a preferred linguistic variant for searching. Thus, we no longer need to distribute separate builds for each additional language. See the International page of the LOINC website for more information about the translations available.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE

However, the foreign language searches that utilize the new Lucene indexing are still considered to be in beta testing and may not function as intended or expected. Please examine the results of foreign language searches carefully before using. If you encounter any problems or have suggestions for improvement, please contact the RELMA development team.

The RELMA program uses a database that includes the LOINC table and other database tables. As indicated in the terms of use, users may use the LOINC table by itself, but not use the other database tables from the RELMA database (except in conjunction with their use of the RELMA program) without prior written permission from Regenstrief Institute, Inc. The other tables in the RELMA database are in constant flux to support changes to the program, and we are not able to support migrations. We are aiming to provide exports of key content in a published format, such as the panels and forms file and other LOINC accessory files.
