+### Overview
+
+A service profile is a pointer within a DID Document to a _resuable_ static
+document resolvable by HTTP that describes the capabilities of a service.

 ### Objective
 
 The purpose of this specification is to enhance the ability for an endpoint
 system and user to discover capabilities of a service within a decentralized
-context. Developed within the Trust Registry Task Force at Trust Over IP, this
-spec offers a straightforward yet effective discovery layer for both legacy and
-new trust registry services. The intended audience includes individuals or
-entities seeking to improve service interoperability with their existing services or on new services.
