-`iscc-sct` is a **proof of concept implementation** of a semantic Text-Code for the [ISCC](https://core.iscc.codes)
-(*International Standard Content Code*). Semantic Text-Codes are designed to capture and represent the language
-agnostic semantic content of text for improved similarity detection.

-> **This is an early proof of concept.** All releases with version numbers below v1.0.0 may break backward
-> compatibility and produce incompatible Semantic Text-Codes.

+`iscc-sct` is a semantic Text-Code for the [ISCC](https://core.iscc.codes) (*International Standard Content Code*).
+Semantic Text-Codes are short identifiers created from text documents that preserve similarity (in hamming distance)
+for semantically similar cross-lingual text inputs.
+
+## What is the ISCC
+
+The ISCC is a combination of various similarity preserving fingerprints and an identifier for digital media content.
+
+ISCCs are generated algorithmically from digital content, just like cryptographic hashes. However, instead of using a
+single cryptographic hash function to identify data only, the ISCC uses various algorithms to create a composite
+identifier that exhibits similarity-preserving properties (soft hash or Simprint).
+
+The component-based structure of the ISCC identifies content at multiple levels of abstraction. Each component is
+self-describing, modular, and can be used separately or with others to aid in various content identification tasks. The
+algorithmic design supports content deduplication, database synchronization, indexing, integrity verification,
+timestamping, versioning, data provenance, similarity clustering, anomaly detection, usage tracking, allocation of
+royalties, fact-checking and general digital asset management use-cases.
