+================
+django-directory
+================
+----------------------------------------
+A directory alike application for Django
+----------------------------------------
+
+Main features
+=============
+
+Django directory allows to:
+
+ - manage multiple schemas, a schema can have views and relations, and a view
+   can have attributes,
+ - it manages typed relations betweens schema instances,
+ - it provides customised admin listing and edition views dynamically for each
+   schema.
+
+Data model
+==========
+
+ Instance <-has-a- Schema <-has-many- Views <-has-many- Attribute
+     ^               \
+     |                \__is_object_of_many Predicate
+   has_many            \_is_value_of_many Predicate
+     |
+   AttributeValue <-has-a- Attribute
+
+Goal
+====
+
+The goal is to provide something LDAP alike maybe not as performant as LDAP,
+but not far from it. Schema are advices and not constraints, nothing prevents
+using any attribute with any instance at the database level but schema can be
+used to constrain user interface when editing or creating an instance.
+
+Django directory is especially adapted for identity management solutions.
