+This repository includes a set of OpenStreetMap data files that describe levels
+in the Hartley Library.
+
+This information was extracted from the floor plans available here [1], and is
+intended to augment the data available in OpenStreetMap regarding the library
+(rooms, stairs, ...) with the other components that do not fit in to OSM
+(bookshelves, ...).
+
+To edit the data, it is advisable to use an editor such as JOSM [2], rather
+than attempting to edit the files manually.
+
+The build-data.js script can be used to construct a GeoJSON representation of
+the data.
