+INTRODUCTION
+
+MOBY is a "Web Services" architecture for bioinformatic
+information, using a combination of common internet
+web services technology (i.e. SOAP, XML, WSDL, etc.)
+and suitable XML ontologies for biological datatypes
+and related services.
+
+For full current information, go to the official
+project web site: http://www.biomoby.org. This file
+merely provides a basic road map to the MOBY
+distribution to get a basic installation installed.
+
+At the highest level, this MOBY distribution is 
+structured into subdirectories corresponding to:
+
+* Docs: general (non-language specific) 
+        documentation about MOBY, including datatype
+        and service ontologies, plus related information
+        (i.e. standard datatype schemas)
+
+* Database: database configuration files (i.e. Central SQL, etc.)
+
+* Specific language implementations for MOBY: Perl, Java
+     
+MOBY essentially consists of three interacting web
+software systems:
+
+* MOBY Service Providers - internet agents providing
+  bioinformatics information and/or services
+  using MOBY service transaction protocols
+
+* MOBY Central - the "yellow pages" of MOBY services
+  to which Service Providers have previously registered
+  the details of their web services
+
+* MOBY Client - any software that can make, using
+  MOBY service transaction protocols, service
+  requests to MOBY Service Providers using service
+  information it obtains from a MOBY Central registry.
+
+Under each language specific directory, there is a
+README specific to that implementation, which directs
+you to the language-specific commissioning procedures 
+for MOBY Service Provider, Central or Client systems, 
+under that given language binding. 
+
+If you are an administrator of a database or 
+computational service that you wish to share in 
+the MOBY work, consult the "Service_Provider" 
+documentation.
+
+If you are interested in developing user applications 
+or interfaces to the MOBY world, the "Client" 
+documentation is all you need.
+
+In both cases, you may not need to set up your own 
+MOBY Central, as there may be existing public 
+MOBY Central servers to which you can register your 
+new services or that your new client can query.  
+However, should you wish to set up your own Central, 
+instructions are provided under each language
+binding.
