 # This is where identifiers die
 
+This project collects identifiers that are, for some reason, no longer pointing to active records
+in the corresponding database. As such, these identifiers should no longer be used. By collecting
+them in a machine readable way, we can make it easier to automate the detection of dead identifiers
+in data curation workflows.
