# Introduction

**Kort** is a low-level tuple language, mainly for exchanging Smaoin-based
information between machines and different software platforms and programs. It
is a line based plain statement serialization format.

Kort can fully and uniformly describe any information expressed in terms of the
[[Smaoin]] model. It's meant to have a simple syntax without much possible
variation, easy to parse and easy to manipulate using the common GNU utilities,
sed, awk and so on. The idea is probably similar to [[!wikipedia "N-Triples"]],
a language for RDF data, but Kort documents are likely to be less readable
because the natural language system is a separate layer in Smaoin.
