+The `tulit` package main components are:
+* a client to query and retrieve data from a variety of legal data sources. Currently the package supports the Cellar, LegiLux and Normattiva.
+* a parser to convert legal documents from a variety of formats to a json representation.

+#### Retrieving legal documents
 
-The `tulit` package has been inspired by a series of previous packages and builds upon some of their architectures and workflows. We would like to acknowledge the following sources that have contributed to the ideation of the `tulit` package:
+The `tulit` package provides a client to query and retrieve data from a variety of legal data sources. The following code snippet shows how to use the `tulit` package to retrieve a legal document from Cellar, given its CELEX number:
 
-* The [eu_corpus_compiler](https://github.com/seljaseppala/eu_corpus_compiler) repository by Selja Seppala concerning the methods used to query the CELLAR SPARQL API and WEB APIs
-* The implementation of the Akoma Ntoso parser made in the [SORTIS project repository](https://code.europa.eu/regulatory-reporting/sortis)
+```python
+
+from tulit.download.cellar import CellarDownloader
+
+client = CellarDownloader()
+downloader = CellarDownloader(download_dir='./tests/data/formex', log_dir='./tests/logs')
+with open('./tests/metadata/query_results/query_results.json', 'r') as f:
+    results = json.loads(f.read())
+documents = downloader.download(results, format='fmx4')
+
+print(documents)
+```
+
+#### Parsing legal documents
+
+The `tulit` parsers support exclusively legislative documents which were adopted in the following formats:
+* Akoma Ntoso 3.0
+* FORMEX 4
+* XHTML originated from Cellar
+
+The following code snippet shows how to use the `tulit` package to parse a legal document in Akoma Ntoso format:
+
+```python
+from tulit.parsers.xml.akomantoso import AkomaNtosoParser
+
+parser = AkomaNtosoParser()
+    
+file_to_parse = 'tests/data/akn/eu/32014L0092.akn'
+parser.parse(file_to_parse)
+
+# The various attributes of the parser can be accessed as follows
+print(parser.preface)
+print(parser.citations)
+print(parser.recitals)
+print(parser.chapters)
+print(parser.articles
+
+```
+
+A similar approach can be used to parse a legal document in FORMEX and XHTML format:
+
+```python
+
+from tulit.parsers.xml.formex import FormexParser
+
+formex_file = 'tests/data/formex/c008bcb6-e7ec-11ee-9ea8-01aa75ed71a1.0006.02/DOC_1/L_202400903EN.000101.fmx.xml'
+parser = FormexParser()
+
+parser.parse(formex_file)
+
+from tulit.parsers.html.xhtml import HTMLParser
+
+html_file = 'tests/data/html/c008bcb6-e7ec-11ee-9ea8-01aa75ed71a1.0006.03/DOC_1.html'
+
+parser = HTMLParser()
+parser.parse(html_file)
+
+```

 ### Use of existing standards and structured formats
 
+The `tulit` package is designed to work with existing standards and structured formats in the legal informatics domain. The following are some of the standards and formats that the package is designed to work with:
+
 * [LegalDocML (Akoma Ntoso)](https://groups.oasis-open.org/communities/tc-community-home2?CommunityKey=3425f20f-b704-4076-9fab-018dc7d3efbe)
-* [LegalHTML](https://art.uniroma2.it/legalhtml/)
 * [FORMEX](https://op.europa.eu/documents/3938058/5910419/formex_manual_on_screen_version.html)
 
+Further standards and formats will be added in the future such as:
+
+* [LegalHTML](https://art.uniroma2.it/legalhtml/)
+* [NormeInRete](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-legal-information/article/abs/norme-in-rete-project-standards-and-tools-for-italian-legislation/483BA5BF2EC4E9DD6636E761FE84AE15)
