-# Eclipse rdf4j documentation
-This repository is part of the [Eclipse rdf4j](http://rdf4j.eclipse.org/) project. It contains the source files for the Rdf4j project website and documentation (references, tutorials, code examples, etc.).
+# This repository will be archived soon
 
-[Eclipse rdf4j](https://rdf4j.eclipse.org/) (formerly known as Sesame) is a powerful Java framework for processing and handling RDF data. This includes creating, parsing, scalable storage, reasoning and querying with RDF and Linked Data. It offers an easy-to-use API that can be connected to all leading RDF database solutions. 
+The Eclipse RDF4J documentation has been migrated into the main [RDF4J git repository](https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j), as part of an effort to make development and immediate documentation easier to handle (see [GH-2333](https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/issues/2333)).
 
-If you are looking for the rdf4j source code repository: it's located at https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j .
+This repository is no longer accepting new pull requests, we will archive it soon. If you want to make updates to the RDF4J documentation or website, please do so at https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j.
