+between studios and render management solutions. This package provides a Python implementation of the
+data model for Open Job Description's template schemas. It can parse, validate, create JSON/Yaml
+documents for the Open Job Description specification, and more. A main use-case that this library
+targets is interoperability by creating applications to translate a Job from Open Job Description
+to the render management software of your choice.
 
 For more information about Open Job Description and our goals with it, please see the
 Open Job Description [Wiki on GitHub](https://github.com/OpenJobDescription/openjd-specifications/wiki).
