The logical observation identifiers names and codes (LOINC) database contains 55 000 terms consisting of more atomic components called parts. LOINC carries more than 18 000 distinct parts. It is necessary to have definitions/descriptions for each of these parts to assist users in mapping local laboratory codes to LOINC. It is believed that much of this information can be obtained from the internet; the first effort was with Wikipedia. This project focused on 1705 laboratory analytes (the first part in the LOINC laboratory name). Of the 1705 parts queried, 1314 matching articles were found in Wikipedia. Of these, 1299 (98.9%) were perfect matches that exactly described the LOINC part, 15 (1.14%) were partial matches (the description in Wikipedia was related to the LOINC part, but did not describe it fully), and 102 (7.76%) were mis-matches. The current release of RELMA and LOINC include Wikipedia descriptions of LOINC parts obtained as a direct result of this project.
逻辑观察标识符名称和代码 (LOINC) 数据库包含 55000 个术语，这些术语由称为部分的更原子组件组成。LOINC 携带 18000 多个不同的部分。为了帮助用户将本地实验室代码映射到 LOINC，需要为每个部分定义/描述。人们认为，这些信息中的大部分可以从互联网上获得；第一个尝试是使用维基百科。该项目专注于 1705 个实验室分析物（LOINC 实验室名称的第一部分）。在所查询的 1705 个部分中，在维基百科中找到了 1314 篇匹配的文章。在这些文章中，有 1299 篇（98.9%）是完全匹配的，准确描述了 LOINC 部分，15 篇（1.14%）是部分匹配的（维基百科中的描述与 LOINC 部分相关，但没有完全描述它），102 篇（7.76%）是不匹配的。RELMA 和 LOINC 的当前版本包含作为该项目直接结果获得的维基百科中对 LOINC 部分的描述。
