+dataref
+=======
+
+Writing scientific texts is a craft. It is the craft of communicating your results to
+your colleagues and to the curious world public. Often your conclusions are based
+upon facts and numbers that you gathered during your research for the specific
+topic. You might have done many experiments and produced lot of data. The
+craft of writing is to guide your reader through a narrative that is based upon
+that data. But there may be many versions of that data. Perhaps you found a
+problem in your experiment, while already writing, that forces you back into the
+laboratory. After a while, the moon has done its circle many times, you return
+from that dark place and your methodology has improved as significantly as your
+data has. But now you have to rewrite that parts of the data, that reference the
+old data points.
+The dataref is here to help you with managing your data points. It provides
+you with macro style keys, that represent symbolic names for your datapints.
+You can reference those symbolic names with \dref, use them in calculations
+to have always up-to-date percentage values, define projections between sets of
+data points and document them. dataref also introduces the notion of assertions
+(\drefassert) for your results to ensure that your prosa text references fit the
+underlying data.
+
+Building the documentation
+==========================
+With latexmk installed:
+
+    make
+    
+or
+
+    make dataref.sty; pdflatex dataref.dtx; pdflatex dataref.dtx; pdflatex dataref.dtx
+    
+    
+Examples
+========
+
+Setting symbolic data points
+
+    \drefset{/count}{42}
+    \drefset{/abc}{23}
+   
+Referencing them with \dref, \drefcalc, \drefassert
+
+    \dref{/count}  => 42
+    \drefcalc{data("/abc") / data("/count")} => 0.55
+    \drefassert{data("/abc") < data("/count")}
+
