+Ontogen
+-------
+
+The goal of this microproject is to ease maintenance of RDF schemas,
+vocabularies, ontologies... you name it.
+
+Especially important for the author was to have some convenient
+repository of representing the model to be externalized as RDF/XML,
+and this model is a simple form of Python code that is, up to
+some exceptions, imperative-less in nature.
+
+Also documentation is an important aspect covered by Ontogen,
+or more specifically, by ns-schema XSL template authored by
+Masahide Kanzaki. Luckily he published it under LGPLv2.1 so
+there was no need to reinvent the wheel and the implication
+is that this whole project is under LGPLv2.1 as well (see LICENSE).
+
+
+Primary development is centered around author's needs but any
+collaboration is welcome.
+
+As a kind of quick intro to starting custom vocabularies,
+template.py file is provided.
