 # TaxonPages
-TaxonPages is a tool to serve taxon pages for TaxonWorks projects.
+TaxonPages is a tool to serve taxon pages. At present it draws data from TaxonWorks' API, however we seek to keep the TaxonPages platform agnostic therefor facilitating the modular addition of functionality that may reference data from any biodiversity data-serving API.
 
 ## Status Warning
 TaxonPages software is in active development and changes are expected that will cause the early first-adopters' instances to require rebuilding by refreshing one's forked branch using `git pull`. A first _stable version_ is expected by Spring 2023.
