The basics of RIMMF6 are similar, if not the same as, RIMMF3, and until we can get to updating this wiki specifically for RIMMF6, we suggest that the RIMMF3 wiki be consulted for those topics.
Below are topics (and details) that are exclusive to RIMMF6.
RV (“Registry Viewer”) is a tool that we have developed over the years to help us navigate/understand/research/troubleshoot the RDA Registry. Today, RV is the backbone of every RIMMF6 release.
The input to RV is the ntriples serialization of every registry download.
The output consists of:
This utility is typically updated after each registry release; from there, the updated registry data will be added to the next RIMMF6 release.

RIMMF4 (R4) is our attempt to model changes to RDA introduced by LRM and the 3R project.
Work on R4 began in 2017/2018.

RIMMF4 development has ended. It is being continued by RIMMF6 (above).

R4 runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The installation documentation for RIMMF3 can be used for R4–substitute 'RIMMF4' for 'RIMMF3' where applicable and ignore the download links2).
R4 can be installed without harming existing RIMMF installations and data on the same computer.
A workflow for converting a RIMMF3 data folder to RIMMF4 linked data is under construction (here is a link to some notes on this topic).
If you have RIMMF3 data that you would like converted to RIMMF4, please contact us. We can use your data to test the conversion, and potentially return the data in the new format.
