+# Semantic Farm
+
+The Semantic Farm is an open source, domain-agnostic, community curated semantic
+space registry, meta-registry, and compact identifier resolver. Here's what that
+means:
+
+1. **Registry** A collection of prefixes and metadata for ontologies,
+   terminologies, and other resources that assign ( persistent) identifiers.
+   Some other well-known registries are
+   [Identifiers.org](https://identifiers.org) (originally for the life
+   sciences), and the [BARTOC](https://bartoc.org) (originally for the
+   humanities).
+2. **Metaregistry** A collection of metadata about registries and mappings
+   between their constituent prefixes.
+3. **Resolver** A tool for mapping
+   [compact URIs (CURIEs)](https://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-curie-20101216/) of
+   the form `prefix:identifier` to HTML and structured content providers
+4. **Open Source** Anyone can
+   [suggest improvements](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/issues/new/choose)
+   or make pull requests to update the underlying database, which is stored in
+   [JSON on GitHub](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/blob/main/src/bioregistry/data/bioregistry.json)
+   where the community can engage in an open review process.
+5. **Domain Agnostic** The concept behind the Semantic Farm was first piloted in
+   the biomedical community with [the Bioregistry](https://bioregistry.io). Now,
+   the underlying technology is fully generic for all domains including
+   engineering, humanities, and beyond.
+6. **Community** Governed by public, well-defined
+   [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md),
+   [code of conduct](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/blob/main/docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md),
+   and
+   [project governance](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/blob/main/docs/GOVERNANCE.md)
+   to promote the project's inclusivity and longevity.

+# Semantic Farm and BARTOC
+
+The Semantic Farm (https://semantic.farm) and the Basic Registry of Thesauri,
+Ontologies, and Classifications (BARTOC; https://bartoc.org) both capture
+metadata describing resources that assign identifiers.
+
+The Semantic Farm already is able to sync content from BARTOC, and in the
+future, BARTOC will be able to sync content from the Semantic Farm.
+
+This document serves as a guide to help NFDI consortium members understand their
+similarities, differences, and decide when to use one or both.
+
+## When to use BARTOC
+
+Key use cases:
+
+1. If you want to use Cocoda as a mapping curation system
+
+## When to use the Semantic Farm
+
+1. If you want to capture information about any kind of identifiers space that
+   isn't a terminology or ontology (e.g., a database like UniProt or system like
+   DOI)
+2. If you want to use SSSOM Curator as a mapping curation system
+3. If you want to build collections of resources (e.g., for reporting)
