The latest iteration of LIMSpec is: LII:LIMSpec 2022 R2

History

LIMSpec was originated by the Laboratory Informatics Institute in 2007, intended to ultimately serve as a complete tool for managing the laboratory's evaluation process for laboratory information management system (LIMS) and laboratory information system (LIS) selection. Initially, it was focused on cataloging requirements and vendor questions, and released under a Creative Commons license allowing for the categorization and assignment of requirement to specific industries. In later versions, users could create their own private collection of requirements and questions, and export that collection in a variety of formats.

LIMSpec has taken on many different iterations over the years. When originally released in 2007, it was a collection of Microsoft Word documents and eBooks (available on a mailed CD), containing numbered user requirements that could be coded as mandatory, optional, or possible future requirement by the lab, and coded as meeting the requirement, meeting the requirement with customization, or not meeting the requirement by the vendor. Sections were color-coded to delineate who was responsible for completing what.[1] By 2011, development of LIMSpec and its requirements was opened up to the laboratory informatics community on LinkedIn.[2] Further efforts to open up LIMSpec development occurred in the mid-2010s, for example on GitHub[3] and a MediaWiki installation[4], giving laboratorians and other stakeholders a more direct online path to engaging with LIMSpec development and use.

By 2019, a significant shift in approach to LIMSpec was enacted, driven in part by the 2018 release of ASTM E1578-18 Standard Guide for Laboratory Informatics. That standard included a Laboratory Informatics Functional Requirements checklist for laboratory informatics solutions, making a great foundation for LIMSpec's transformation into a user requirements specification (USR) strictly based off of standards, regulations, guidelines, and other documents affecting how laboratories are run. September 2019 saw the release of LIMSpec 2019 R1, based on 70 different regulations, standards, and guidelines, made available on LIMSwiki and in a downloadable book format on LIMSforum.[5]
