+=head1 About KorAP-XML
+
+KorAP-XML (Bański et al. 2012) is an implementation of the KorAP
+data model (Bański et al. 2013), where text data are stored physically
+separated from their interpretations (i.e. annotations).
+A text document in KorAP-XML therefore consists of several files
+containing primary data, metadata and annotations.
+
+The structure of a single KorAP-XML document can be as follows:
+
+  - data.xml
+  - header.xml
+    + base
+      - tokens.xml
+      - ...
+    + struct
+      - structure.xml
+      - ...
+    + corenlp
+      - morpho.xml
+      - constituency.xml
+      - ...
+    + tree_tagger
+      - morpho.xml
+      - ...
+    - ...
+
+The C<data.xml> contains the primary data, the C<header.xml> contains
+the metadata, and the annotation layers are stored in subfolders
+like C<base>, C<struct> or C<corenlp>
+(so-called "foundries"; Bański et al. 2013).
+
+Metadata is available in the TEI-P5 variant I5
+(Lüngen and Sperberg-McQueen 2012), while annotations correspond to
+a variant of the TEI-P5 feature structures (TEI Consortium; Lee et al. 2004).
+
+Multiple KorAP-XML documents are organized on three levels following
+the "IDS Textmodell" (Lüngen and Sperberg-McQueen 2012):
+corpus E<gt> document E<gt> text. On each level metadata information
+can be stored, that C<korapxml2krill> will merge to a single metadata
+object per text. A corpus is therefore structured as follows:
+
+  + <corpus>
+    - header.xml
+    + <document>
+      - header.xml
+      + <text>
+        - data.xml
+        - header.xml
+        - ...
+    - ...
+
+A single text can be identified by the concatenation of
+the corpus identifier, the document identifier and the text identifier.
+This identifier is called the text sigle
+(e.g. a text with the identifier C<18486> in the document C<060> in the
+corpus C<WPD17> has the text sigle C<WPD17/060/18486>, see C<--sigle>).
+
+These corpora are often stored in zip files, with which C<korapxml2krill>
+can deal with. Corpora may also be split in multiple zip archives
+(e.g. one zip file per foundry), which is also supported (see C<--input>).
+
+Examples for KorAP-XML files are included in L<KorAP::XML::Krill>
+in form of a test suite.
+The resulting JSON format merges all annotation layers
+based on a single token stream.
