-# Welcome to CDPP
+# Welcome to CRS4 Digital Pathology Platform
 
 This site provides documentation for the CRS4 Digital Pathology Platform (CDPP), an open-source system for managing whole slide image collections, structured annotation, and computational pathology workflows.
 
-Explore the sections on platform features, source code, and how to install and use the software.
+# Platform overview
+
+The CRS4 Digital Pathology Platform (CDPP) is an open-source software system designed to support digital pathology research through:
+
+- Structured, multi-label morphological and clinical image annotation
+- Support for controlled, customizable annotation protocols
+- Annotation tools that enhance accuracy, efficiency, and consistency
+- Workflow-based computational analysis with provenance tracking
+
+CDPP is based on a modular architecture comprising:
+
+- A slide repository (based on <a href="https://www.openmicroscopy.org/omero/" target="_blank">Open Microscopy's OMERO</a>)
+- A virtual microscope for WSI viewing <a href="https://github.com/crs4/ome_seadragon/tree/master" target="_blank">:octocat: View on Github</a>
+- An annotation manager supporting both manual and AI-assisted annotation <a href="https://github.com/crs4/DigitalPathologyPlatform/tree/master" target="_blank">:octocat: View on Github</a>
+- A workflow manager for automated image analysis (via Apache Airflow + CWL)
+
+Its web-based interface supports distributed, protocol-driven collaboration and simplifies setup through Docker-based deployment.
