+web data warehousing and social data storage and analysis. 
+
+Apache AsterixDB has:
 
  * A semistructured NoSQL style data model (ADM) resulting from extending JSON with object database ideas
- * An expressive and declarative query language (AQL) that supports a broad range of queries and analysis over semistructured data

+   a broad range of queries and analysis over semistructured data
  * A parallel runtime query execution engine, Hyracks, that has been scale-tested on up to 1000+ cores and 500+ disks
  * Partitioned LSM-based data storage and indexing to support efficient ingestion and management of semistructured data
- * Support for query access to externally stored data (e.g., data in HDFS) as well as to data stored natively by AsterixDB
- * A rich set of primitive data types, including spatial and temporal data in addition to integer, floating point, and textual data

  * Secondary indexing options that include B+ trees, R trees, and inverted keyword (exact and fuzzy) index types
  * Support for fuzzy and spatial queries as well as for more traditional parametric queries
  * Basic transactional (concurrency and recovery) capabilities akin to those of a NoSQL store

 ##Documentation
 
-AsterixDB's official documentation resides at [http://asterixdb.ics.uci.edu/documentation/index.html] (http://asterixdb.ics.uci.edu/documentation/index.html). This is built from the maven project under `asterix-doc/` as a maven site. The documentation on the official website refers to the most stable release version, so for pre-release versions one should refer to the compiled documentation.
