 Introduction
 ------------
 
-A Python implementation of a [JSON-LD][] processor.
+JSON, as specified in RFC4627, is a simple language for representing
+objects on the Web. Linked Data is a way of describing content across
+different documents or Web sites. Web resources are described using
+IRIs, and typically are dereferencable entities that may be used to find
+more information, creating a "Web of Knowledge". JSON-LD is intended to
+be a simple publishing method for expressing not only Linked Data in
+JSON, but for adding semantics to existing JSON.
+
+This library is an implementation of the [JSON-LD] specification
+in [Python].
+
+JSON-LD is designed as a light-weight syntax that can be used to express
+Linked Data. It is primarily intended to be a way to express Linked Data
+in Javascript and other Web-based programming environments. It is also
+useful when building interoperable Web Services and when storing Linked
+Data in JSON-based document storage engines. It is practical and
+designed to be as simple as possible, utilizing the large number of JSON
+parsers and existing code that is in use today. It is designed to be
+able to express key-value pairs, RDF data, RDFa [RDFA-CORE] data,
+Microformats [MICROFORMATS] data, and Microdata [MICRODATA]. That is, it
+supports every major Web-based structured data model in use today.
+
+The syntax does not require many applications to change their JSON, but
+easily add meaning by adding context in a way that is either in-band or
+out-of-band. The syntax is designed to not disturb already deployed
+systems running on JSON, but provide a smooth migration path from JSON
+to JSON with added semantics. Finally, the format is intended to be fast
+to parse, fast to generate, stream-based and document-based processing
+compatible, and require a very small memory footprint in order to operate.
