+# What is SWI-Prolog?
+
+SWI-Prolog is a versatile implementation of the Prolog language. Its robust multi-threading, extended data types, unbounded arithmetic and Unicode representation of text allow for natural representation of documents (e.g., XML, JSON, RDF) and exchange of data with other programming paradigms.

+# How to use this image
+
+## Start a REPL
+
+This image can be run directly to obtain an SWI-Prolog environment with most useful modules pre-built. When started without parameters, the SWI-Prolog REPL is launched automatically:
+
+```console
+docker run -it %%IMAGE%% 
+```
+
+## Build an image with your application
+
+It is also useful to build images on top of this base image which rely on SWI-Prolog and provide their own default command:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM %%IMAGE%%
+COPY . /app
+CMD ["swipl", "/app/start.pl"]
+```
+
+This will extract and copy your source files to the image and then set the default command to run your application.
