loinc

LOINC release loading and the typed row model.

Reads a LOINC release (the unpacked Loinc_<version> directory) into typed rows: the term table, the parts and the multiaxial hierarchy, the answer lists, and the linguistic variants, each file located by name and read by column name (the LOINC database structure). The crate ships no LOINC content; a deployment brings its own release under the LOINC licence.

Where it sits

loinc is one crate of FerroTERM, a pure-Rust FHIR terminology server for SNOMED CT, LOINC, and other clinical code systems. The crates are published so other projects can reuse them; the API is pre-1.0 and moves with the FerroTERM release train. Documentation: https://docs.rs/loinc.
