-# Energy ADE (ver 2 beta 7) module for citygml4j - Work in Progress
+# Energy ADE (ver 2 beta 7) module for citygml4j v2.13.1- Work in Progress
 
 [Java 17](https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#jdk-17-lts) is the minimum requirement. 
 
 This is a citygml4j module for the **Energy Application Domain Extension** (Energy ADE) v2 beta7 for CityGML.
 
-:information_source: The Energy ADE 2 (beta 7) module is intended to be used with CityGMl v2 and its [citygml4j v2](https://github.com/citygml4j/citygml4j/tree/citygml4j-v2)
-and works fine in this context. However, note that citygml4j v2 is in _maintenance mode_. There are
-currently _no plans to migrate_ the Energy ADE 2 module to citygml4j v3 or CityGML 3
+The Energy ADE 2 (beta 7) module is intended to be used with CityGMl v2 and its [citygml4j v2](https://github.com/citygml4j/citygml4j/tree/citygml4j-v2)
+and works fine in this context. However, note that citygml4j v2 is in _maintenance mode_. This library adds support for parsing and writing CityGML data and enables developers to work with 3D city models as a set of Java objects.
 
-Priority List:
+Currently, there are _no plans to migrate_ the Energy ADE 2 citygml4j module to citygml4j v3 or add support for 3DCityDB v5 or CityGML v3 or CityJSON.
