it ensures **immediate machine actionability and AI-readiness**, essential for modern research environments. +The flexible framework also allows for customization, enabling researchers to adapt or extend the core structure to meet their individual needs. + +### Separation for Reusability + +One of ARC’s key principles is the **separation of (meta)data for reusability**. +By treating metadata as distinct, reusable entities, the framework makes it easy to aggregate data later while avoiding the difficulties of separating intertwined information. +This approach ensures a high level of clarity and organization, supporting long-term reuse and integration across multiple research projects. + +![Descriptor files provide context for the data files](/everything-file.png) + +In the user-facing representation, ARC allows everything to be stored as individual files, making it possible to layer metadata and data incrementally. +Metadata files attached to data can, in turn, be decorated and enriched with further metadata, allowing for continuous improvement and contextualization. + +### Getting Started + +To facilitate adoption, tools like **ARCitect** offer a user-friendly interface for creating and managing an ARC. +ARCitect streamlines organization and documentation with an intuitive interface, and video tutorials provide step-by-step guidance on how to get started with modern research documentation using ARC. +While these tools make the process easier, ARC is designed to avoid any tool lock-in. Everything can be done manually or using alternative tools available within the ARC community. + +### Open Source and Community-Driven + +ARC is an **open-source**, community-driven initiative that invites researchers to contribute and shape the future of RDM according to the evolving needs of the research community. +This openness ensures that the framework remains adaptable, relevant, and focused on solving real-world challenges in research data management. \ No newline at end of file
