Ruby Reference Implementation
- Mission Statement
  Ruby is a smart and powerful script language that is based on object oriented concept. We are going to implement productive Ruby environment on openEHR to reduce programmers effort on development such as Ruby on Rails
- Current Status
  We are working on mainly in openEHR.jp repository. Preliminary implementation of Ruby ADL parser is succeeded in 17 ADL files. We are now going on implementation of models of openEHR.
Why Ruby?
- Ideal of Ruby(cited from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/about/)
  - Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro "matz" Matsumoto, blended parts of his favorite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lisp) to form a new language that balanced functional programming with imperative programming.
  - Ruby is simple in appearance, but is very complex inside, just like our human body.

- Open Source Software
  - Ruby is created by Yukihiro Matsumoto and distributed under either GPL or Ruby license(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/about/license.txt/).
- Ruby on Rails
