+This documentation is for the integration of the [TMIP-EMAT](http://tmip-emat.github.io) exploratory modeling
+and analysis tool with the [VisionEval](https://visioneval.github.io) strategic planning model.
+
+For this integration, we are using VisionEval as a "core model", and wrapping it with EMAT to provide
+a more robust and flexible exploratory modeling and analysis environment.
+
+In addition to this documentation, you may also want to refer to the 
+[TMIP-EMAT documentation](http://tmip-emat.github.io) and the 
+[VisionEval documentation](https://visioneval.github.io).
+
+This documentation is a companion to two example repositories:
+
+-   [tmip-emat/tmip-emat-ve](https://github.com/tmip-emat/tmip-emat-ve) - An initial 
+    technological demonstration of the integration of EMAT and VisionEval.
+-   [tmip-emat/oregon-ve-example](https://github.com/tmip-emat/oregon-ve-example) - 
+    An example of using the integration as implemented for Oregon DOT.
