== DESCRIPTION:

This is the fist stable branch version 1.0.0 release of Ruby openEHR
implementation project. This release is based on openEHR specification
release 1.0.2. We implemented almost of the specifications of the openEHR.
The work is still in progress to implement related tools, such as
archetype validator or serializer.
The intention is to have a sample EHR to utilize all over the world
quickly with Ruby on Rails for many other porject.
From this release we changed license from MPL 1.1 to Apache 2.0 license,
as regards to the other openEHR aretefact license.

This package includes:
* ADL 1.4 parser
* AM/RM packages based on the openEHR specification 1.0.2

This package excludes:
* ADL serializer(in progress)
* ADL validator(in progress)
* Data store/retrieve would be separate to the other project.

Almost all classes passed the test constructed by RSpec2 (formaly used
test/unit). These spec files are under /spec.

Some specifications are not well determined yet, such as rm/security
and so on. We postponed to implement such classes.

Terminology and Demographic server will be implemented in other
project.
