 # OpenDA
 
-OpenDA is an open interface standard for (and free implementation of) a set of tools to quickly implement data-assimilation and calibration for arbitrary numerical models. OpenDA wants to stimulate the use of data-assimilation and calibration by lowering the implementation costs and enhancing the exchange of software among researchers and end-users.
+OpenDA is an open interface standard for (and free implementation of) a set of tools to quickly apply data-assimilation and calibration to arbitrary numerical models. It aims to lower implementation costs and promote the sharing of software among researchers and practitioners. 
+Models compatible with the OpenDA standard can access all OpenDA tools, enabling experimentation with data-assimilation and calibration methods without extensive programming. Similarly, developers who make their methods OpenDA-compatible can share them with all users, either freely or commercially. OpenDA has been designed for high performance, making it suitable for large-scale models. It allows users to optimize the interaction between their models and the data-assimilation or calibration methods, achieving efficiency comparable to custom implementations.
 
-A model that conforms to the OpenDA standard can use all the tools that are available in OpenDA. This allows experimentation with data-assimilation/calibration methods without the need for extensive programming. Reversely, developers of data-assimilation/calibration software that make their implementations compatible with the OpenDA interface will make their new methods usable for all OpenDA users (either for free or on a commercial basis).

-OpenDA has been designed for high performance. Hence, even large-scale models can use it. Also, OpenDA allows users to optimize the interaction between their model and the data-assimilation/calibration methods. Hence, data-assimilation with OpenDA can be as efficient as with custom-made implementations of data-assimilation methods.
