- ROOT Object Oriented Technologies is an object oriented data
- analysis framework written in C++ by the CERN. Widely used in
- high energy physics, but also in other data analysis applications. It
- contains the CINT C/C++ interpreter and many classes such as
- statistics, serialization, optimization, linear algebra, graphics,
- GUI toolkit, and a complete visualization framework.

+ ROOT is a modular scientific software framework. It provides all the
+ functionality needed to deal with big data processing, statistical analysis,
+ visualisation and storage. It is mainly written in C++ but integrated with
+ other languages such as Python and R. ROOT is widely used in high energy
+ physics, but also in other data analysis applications. It contains the
+ CINT (ROOT 5.x) or cling (ROOT 6.x) C/C++ interpreter and many other
+ classes for statistics, serialization, optimization, linear algebra,
+ graphics, GUI toolkit, and a complete visualization framework.
