 # Automotive Knowledge Model (AKM)
-This repo contains the Automotive Knowledge Model (AKM), an open-source data model and metadata catalog for transmitting vehicle signals in a consistent manner.  Please see the overview.md file in the Documentation folder for more information.  That folder also contains markdown files for principles and usage guidelines.
-
-The repo has four subfolders:
-
-- **\schema** contains the JSON Schema file(s) that provide the structure and meaning of the automotive metadata files
-- **\data** contains the JSON documents that contain the actual Automotive metadata
-- **\documentation** contains markdown files that explain aspects of the AKM
-- **\rdf** contains a turtle file that expresses the structure and metadata in an ontology
-
-The repo is currently in an alpha release state and should be considered a **DRAFT**.  It requires the following work to make it generally available:
-
-- The format and structure of the JSON Schema document requires testing, restructuring, and other quality reviews.
-- The tooling that converts VSS to other formats must be available to the AKM.  (The AKM tools should be simpler because of the many existing JSON Schema libraries, tooling, etc.)
-- The processing of VSS overlays should be supported.
-- An assessment of how exposing a DAG that is not necessarily the VSS tree would affect the [VISS](https://www.w3.org/TR/viss2-core/).
-- The structure of the data subfolders should be appraised.
-- The generation of JSON data documents from RDF and vice versa should be developed.
