+     "@code{astrodata} is a package for managing astronomical data through a
+uniform interface.  It is designed to be used with the
+@url{https://www.astropy.org/, Astropy package}.  @code{astrodata} was created
+for use as part of the @url{https://github.com/GeminiDRSoftware/DRAGONS,
+DRAGONS} data reduction pipeline, but it is now implemented to be useful for
+any astronomical data reduction or analysis project.
+
+Unlike managing files using the @code{astropy.io.fits} package alone,
+@code{astrodata} is designed to be extendible to any data format, and to
+parse, respond to, and store metadata in a consistent, intentional way.  This
+makes it especially useful for managing data from multiple instruments,
+telescopes, and data generation utilities.")
