+## List of Files
+
+To better manage the functions into logical groups, this library breaks them into files (described below).
+
+- **Basic Helpers**: Commonly used and shared helpers across the library, mainly for unifying or normalizing the LinkedArt document structure
+- **Language Helpers**: Functions for filtering and managing data in multiple languages
+- **LinkedArt Helpers**: Mainly low-level accessors and filter logic for working with LinkedArt Document Structure, but also includes some higher-level functions such as getPrimaryName (for getting the title).
+- **Object Helpers**: High-level functions for accessing common fields in documents.

-## About LinkedArt.js
-
-This library includes a set of methods for working with [linked.art](https://linked.art) data. Easily manipulate and access rich, complexly nested linked data from any Linked.Art source. This library includes two different types of methods:
-
-Basic Helpers for things like getting the Title, Name, Identifier, or other common properties from a Linked.Art Object. Please see the helpers, or examples in our tests.
-It also includes a more robust set of tools for navigating the Linked.Art JSON-LD to create custom functions and queries -- this includes filtering data by multiple classifications, traversing the JSON-LD structure, and working with languages.
-
-## What is Linked.Art?
-
-You probably know this if you’ve made it this far but just in case: Linked.Art is a Linked Open Data model which is used to describe cultural heritage materials. Much more information about the model, and the community that is building it, can be found at [https://linked.art/](https://linked.art/)
-
-## How Does it Work?
-
-The library includes a number of helpers for working with Linked.Art’s basic JSON-LD patterns. You can do basic things like getting values based on a classification or set of classifications, as well as more advanced tasks like working with languages and other elements of the Linked.Art model. Want to know more, take a look at the [examples below](#examples).
-
-## Contributing
-
-We know this library does not include every use-case, or a simple helper for accessing every Linked.Art property. We’d love feedback or pull-requests to continue to broaden and deepen the library to better support the community.
-
-## What Do I Need to Use It?
-
-You will need to be comfortable with javascript and npm (Node Package Manager). You will also need data that is formatted to the Linked.Art model. Example sets you can work with can be found at [https://linked.art/cookbook/data-sources/](https://linked.art/cookbook/data-sources/)
-
-## How do I install it?
-
-Using npm:
-
-```shell
-$ npm install @thegetty/linkedart.js --save
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-Below is a simple example of how to use the LinkedArt library, for more examples, please see the tutorials [Working with Linked Art](https://observablehq.com/@jrladd/linked-art-2), [Understanding Linked Art](https://observablehq.com/@jrladd/linked-art-1), [Exploring Linked Art](https://observablehq.com/@jrladd/linked-art-3) for using Linked.Art with the Getty Museum’s linked open data APIs.
-
-### A Simple Example to get the title of an object:
-
-```js
-// import a single helper
-import { getClassifiedAs, getPrimaryName } from "@thegetty-private/linkedart";
-
-const linkedArtObject = {
-  identified_by: [
-    {
-      type: "Name",
-      content: "Young Woman Picking Fruit",
-      classified_as: [
-        {
-          id: "http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300404670",
-          _label: "preferred terms",
-          type: "Type"
-        }
-      ]
-    }
-  ]
-};
-
-// get the title using the built-in helper
-const title = getPrimaryName(linkedArtObject);
-
-// get the title using the lower-level methods which allow you to specify a different classification, or other settings
-const result = getClassifiedAs(
-  linkedArtObject["identified_by"],
-  "http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300404670"
-);
-
-// result should equal: "Young Woman Picking Fruit"
-```
