+A collection of Python utilities for connecting RDF stores to FastAPI.
+
+
+## SPARQLModelAdapter
+
+The `rdfproxy.SPARQLModelAdapter` class allows to run a query against an endpoint and map a flat SPARQL query result set to a potentially nested Pydantic model.
+
+E.g. the result set of the following query
+```sparql
+select ?x ?y ?a ?p
+where {
+    values (?x ?y ?a ?p) {
+        (1 2 "a value" "p value")
+    }
+}
+```
+can be run against an endpoint and mapped to a nested Pydantic model like so:
+
+```python
+from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+from rdfproxy import SPARQLModelAdapter
+
+class SimpleModel(BaseModel):
+    x: int
+    y: int
+
+class NestedModel(BaseModel):
+    a: str
+    b: SimpleModel
+
+class ComplexModel(BaseModel):
+    p: str
+    q: NestedModel
+
+
+sparql_wrapper = SPARQLWrapper("https://some.actual/endpoint")
+
+with open("example_query.rq") as f:
+    query = f.read()
+
+adapter = SPARQLModelAdapter(sparql_wrapper=sparql_wrapper)
+models: Sequence[_TModelInstance] = adapter(query=query, model_constructor=ComplexModel)
+```
+
+This produces a Sequence of Pydantic model instances which can then be served via FastAPI.
+
+The `model_constructor` parameter takes either a Pydantic model directly or a model_constructor callable which receives the raw `SPARQLWrapper.QueryResult` object and is responsible for returning a Sequence of model instances.
