Relevance Language is a language created by BigFix (an IBM company) in order to cater their specific needs. BigFix is a software that is used to monitor the computers within an enterprise and if necessary take actions to fix the computer. Amongst other features the most prominent one is that it looks if a particular computer (whether its a Desktop, Laptop, Mobile running iOS or Android, Mac, Linux, etc.) needs an update or a patch and delivers the fixlet (BigFix term, which is essentially a set of instructions on how to get the update and where to install it and so on) to the device in a very bandwidth efficient manner. During the design of the software, the company was looking for any language that could directly retrieve the properties of a computer (such as cpu, disk space, etc.) and at the time they were unable to find any languages that fit the bill and hence they resorted to developing their own language that delivers this. Currently, BigFix is the only software that uses this language.[1]
