 LibCove2
 ========
 
+This library ultimately supports CoVE web applications, among others.
+
+CoVE exists to help people:
+
+* Convert data between common formats (e.g. csv to json)
+* Validate data against rules
+* Explore data, that machines find easy, but humans find harder to read
+
+However, CoVE Web App is a separate library
+so that you can take the functionality of this library and reuse it in your own applications with your own custom UI.
+
+Hence this libraries and the libraries that directly use it are pure Python libraries with no UI provided (beyond maybe a simple CLI).
+
+It is a collection of helper Python functions that may be used by other libraries.
+
+This gives maximum flexibility to other data standard specific libraries while avoiding those libraries reinventing the wheel.
+It also means that if one data standard has a special requirement,
+that can usually be handled by the data standard specific library with no need to change this core library.

+Migration from lib-cove
+=======================
+
+
+This library is an updated version of the previous library ( https://github.com/OpenDataServices/lib-cove ).
+
+However, the structure of the library and how it works have massive changes.
+For this reason the upgrade path isn't a simple upgrade, but requires rewriting work in the software that uses this.
+
+This is why this library is a separate git repository and a separate pypi package,
+so that development of the previous library can also continue and users are not forced to upgrade before they are ready.

+Python API
+==========
+
+This section documents the Python API that software using this library should consider.
+
+It does not document Python that is not intended for reuse by others (you can read the source code for that.)
