+Black Star Information Extraction
+=================================
+
+A major advantage of the `Black Star File System (BSFS) <https://www.bsfs.io/bsfs/>`_
+is its ability to store various kinds of (meta)data associated with a file.
+However, the BSFS itself is only a storage solution,
+it does not inspect files or collect information about them.
+
+The Black Star Information Extraction (BSIE) package fills this gap by
+extracting various kinds of information from a file and pushing that data to a BSFS instance.
+
+BSIE has the ability to process numerous file formats,
+and it can turn various aspects of a file into usable information.
+This includes metadata from a source file system,
+metadata stored within the file,
+and even excerpts or feature representations of the file's content itself.
