 # An Aspect of the Meta Model
 
 The `esmf-aspect-model-loader` package provides the Python implementation for the SAMM Aspect Meta Model, or SAMM.
 Each Meta Model element and each Characteristic class is represented by an interface with a corresponding
 implementation.
 
+## Documentation

+* Check the [developer documentation](https://eclipse-esmf.github.io)

-## Input data handler usage
-
-The InputHandler is a general-purpose class designed for loading input data into an RDF graph. 
-It easily accommodates different input sources such as local files (.ttl) or direct data strings containing 
-RDF formatted data.
+## SAMM Aspect Model Graph usage
 
+SAMM Aspect Model Graph is a class that allows you to load and interact with the Semantic Data Aspect Meta Model graph. 
+Below is an example of how to use SAMM Aspect Model Graph in your Python code:
 ```python
-from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python.resolver.handler import InputHandler
+from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python import SAMMGraph
 
-# Instantiating the Handler
-# The InputHandler requires a path or data string upon instantiation, which defines the source of RDF data
-# local file
-model_path = "path/to/local/file/AspectName.ttl"
-handler = InputHandler(model_path)
-graph, aspect_urn = handler.get_rdf_graph()
+# Define the path to your Turtle file
+model_path = "absolute/path/to/turtle.ttl"
 
-# returns a tuple containing the RDF graph and the aspect URN derived from the provided data source
-```
+# Create an instance of SAMMGraph
+samm_graph = SAMMGraph()
 
-```python
-from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python.resolver.handler import InputHandler
+# Parse the Turtle file to load the graph
+samm_graph.parse(model_path)
 
-# Alternatively, if you have RDF data in a string format, you can directly pass it as follows:
-rdf_data_string = "your RDF data string here"
-handler = InputHandler(rdf_data_string)
-graph, aspect_urn = handler.get_rdf_graph()
+# Load the aspect model from the graph
+aspect = samm_graph.load_aspect_model()
 ```
 
-## Aspect Meta Model Loader usage
-
-An Aspect of the Meta Model can be loaded as follows:
+The `load_model_elements` method in the SAMMGraph class creates Python objects to represent all nodes from the Aspect 
+model graph. It retrieves all SAMM elements from the RDF graph and converts them into structured Python objects.
 ```python
-from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python import AspectLoader
-from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python.resolver.handler import InputHandler
+from esmf_aspect_meta_model_python import SAMMGraph
 
+# Define the path to your Turtle file
 model_path = "absolute/path/to/turtle.ttl"
-handler = InputHandler(model_path)
-graph, aspect_urn = handler.get_rdf_graph()
 
-loader = AspectLoader()
-model_elements = loader.load_aspect_model(graph, aspect_urn)
-aspect = model_elements[0]
+# Create an instance of SAMMGraph
+samm_graph = SAMMGraph()
 
-# or you can provide an Aspect URN
+# Parse the Turtle file to load the graph
+samm_graph.parse(model_path)
 
-loader = AspectLoader()
-aspect_urn = "urn:samm:org.eclipse.esmf.samm:aspect.model:0.0.1#AspectName"
-model_elements = loader.load_aspect_model("absolute/path/to/turtle.ttl", aspect_urn)
-aspect = model_elements[0]
+# Load all model elements from the graph
+model_elements = samm_graph.load_model_elements()
 ```
