+== OPEN OBJECT
+
+The Open Object data type is a pure Ruby re-implementation of the Open Struct 
+data type which allows the recursive definition of attributes. 
+
+=== Purpose.
+
+The sole purpose of this data type is to create a data type capable of handling 
+the creation and actualization of hierarchical data structures defined by using 
+nested Hashes instances.
+
+=== Concept.
+
+The Open Object data type, by being capable of create and update the values of 
+hierarchical attributes, is conceived as a perfect unit for in-memory data 
+storage.
+
+This data type adapts dynamically to a given data object hierarchy defined by 
+nested Hashes in order to allow access to its attributes and their respective 
+dependent attributes easily. 
+
+=== Features.
+
+The current version of this data type implements these features:
+- Recursive initialization of its attributes.
+- Direct read/write access to the dynamically created attributes.
+- Data conversion to built-in Hash instances.
+
+=== Limitations.
+
+The limitations are the following: 
+- An instance of this data type cannot store Hash instances natively because
+  every instance of this built-in class will be converted into an OpenObject
+  instance due to implementation reasons.
