+@node Introduction
+@chapter Introduction
+
+@abbr{CWL, Common Workflow Language} is an open standard for describing
+analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and
+scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments.
+
+@abbr{ccwl, Concise Common Workflow Language} is a concise syntax to
+express CWL workflows. It is implemented as an @abbr{EDSL, Embedded
+Domain Specific Language} in the Scheme programming language, a
+minimalist dialect of the Lisp family of programming languages.
+
+ccwl is a compiler to generate CWL workflows from concise descriptions
+in ccwl. In the future, ccwl will also have a runtime whereby users can
+interactively execute workflows while developing them.
