+     "This package provides a Julia interface defining a collection
+of types (without instances) for implementing conventions about the scientific
+interpretation of data.  This package makes a distinction between the machine
+type and the scientific type of a Julia object.  A machine type refers to the
+Julia type being used to represent the object, for instance @code{Float64}.  The
+scientific type refers to how the object should be interpreted, for instance
+@code{Continuous} or @code{Multiclass{3}}.")
