-A Simple Python Project Skeleton
+purl-validator
 ================================
 
-This repo attempts to standardize the structure of the Python-based project's
-repositories using modern Python packaging and configuration techniques.
-Using this `blog post`_ as inspiration, this repository serves as the base for
-all new Python projects and is mergeable in existing repositories as well.
-
-.. _blog post: https://blog.jaraco.com/a-project-skeleton-for-python-projects/
-
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-A brand new project
--------------------
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    git init my-new-repo
-    cd my-new-repo
-    git pull [email protected]:nexB/skeleton
-
-    # Create the new repo on GitHub, then update your remote
-    git remote set-url origin [email protected]:nexB/your-new-repo.git
-
-From here, you can make the appropriate changes to the files for your specific project.
-
-Update an existing project
----------------------------
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    cd my-existing-project
-    git remote add skeleton [email protected]:nexB/skeleton
-    git fetch skeleton
-    git merge skeleton/main --allow-unrelated-histories
-
-This is also the workflow to use when updating the skeleton files in any given repository.
-
-More usage instructions can be found in ``docs/skeleton-usage.rst``.

+PURLs are everywhere in SBOMs. But with adoption comes widespread errors. 
+A recent study on the quality of SBOMs revealed that for many proprietary and
+open source tools, PURLs in SBOMs are inconsistent, fake, incorrect, or 
+misleading. This is a serious problem to any application of SBOMs for 
+cybersecurity and application security, as well as related compliance 
+regulations. This project is to create a PURL validator that's decentralized 
+such that libraries can use it offline and help them create better PURLs.
+
+Building this compact dataset is new territory. There is research 
+and exploration necessary for creating a super compact data structure 
+that is also easy and fast to query across multiple languages. The data 
+structure will also need memory-mapping to avoid running out of memory.
