+About this site
+===============
+
+This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
+from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
+framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
+entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
+data selected from the object database using a specific query language.
+
+This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
+example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
+and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
