 # The Research Software MetaData Guidelines for End-Users
+Welcome to the RSMD-guidelines page.
+
+## Overview
+The Research Software MetaData (RSMD) guidelines is a comprehensive set of guidelines aimed at enhancing the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of research software artifacts within the [European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)](https://open-science-cloud.ec.europa.eu/) and beyond. Developed as part of the [FAIR-IMPACT project](https://fair-impact.eu/), the RSMD v1.0 represents the inaugural proposal of standardized metadata standards for research software.
+
+## Getting Started
+To start using RSMD in your research projects:
+
+1. Review the RSMD Guidelines document to understand the recommended metadata attributes and best practices.
+2. Checkout the RSMD checklist
+3. Incorporate relevant metadata fields into your software documentation and repository workflows.
+4. Engage with the RSMD community to provide feedback, contribute improvements, and share experiences.
