-Aardvark.Algodat is part of the open-source [Aardvark platform](https://github.com/aardvark-platform/aardvark.docs/wiki) for visual computing, real-time graphics and visualization.
+Aardvark.Algodat is part of the open-source [Aardvark Platform](https://github.com/aardvark-platform) for visual computing, real-time graphics, and visualization. This repository contains high-performance, production-quality data structures and algorithms for point and mesh data, such as out-of-core point cloud management, n-closest point queries, and intersection tests. Additionally, it includes importers for file formats such as [E57 (ASTM E2807-11)](https://www.astm.org/Standards/E2807.htm), LasZip, Ply. **Aardvark.Data.Photometry** imports [IES (IESNA LM-63)](https://www.ies.org/product/standard-file-format-for-electronic-transfer-of-photometric-data/) and [LDT (EULUMDAT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EULUMDAT) data files. **Aardvark.Phsyics.Sky** includes sky models: CIE Standard Genernal Sky, Hosek-Wilkie, Preetham; and Astronomical calcuations for position of Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars. Supported platforms are windows, linux, macOS.
 
-This repository contains high-performance, production-quality data structures and algorithms. 
-
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.BspTree** - in-memory BSP-tree
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.Clustering** - efficient clustering of geometric primitives
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.Intersection** - in-memory kd-tree for polygon meshes
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.PointSet** - out-of-core point cloud data management
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.PointTree** - fast n-closest points queries for in-memory point clouds
-* **Aardvark.Geometry.PolyMesh** - compact in-memory polygonal mesh data structure, based on [A Mesh Data Structure for Rendering and Subdivision](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254451624_A_Mesh_Data_Structure_for_Rendering_and_Subdivision)
-
-Furthermore, there are some importers for file formats.
-
-* **Aardvark.Data.E57** - importer for [E57 (ASTM E2807-11)](https://www.astm.org/Standards/E2807.htm) laserscan files (compatible with `Aardvark.Geometry.PointSet`)
-* **Aardvark.Data.Ascii** - fast and parameterizable importer for text-based laserscan formats, like for example *.pts* (compatible with `Aardvark.Geometry.PointSet`)
-* **Aardvark.Data.Photometry** - importer of [IES (IESNA LM-63)](https://www.ies.org/product/standard-file-format-for-electronic-transfer-of-photometric-data/) and [LDT (EULUMDAT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EULUMDAT) data files; unified data strcuture for photometric measurement data, calculations, utility functions
-
-Other:
-
-* **Aardvark.Phsyics.Sky** - sky models: CIE Standard Genernal Sky, Hosek-Wilkie, Preetham; Astronomical calcuations for position of Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars
