+# Red Arrow Dataset - Apache Arrow Dataset Ruby
+
+Red Arrow Dataset is the Ruby bindings of Apache Arrow Dataset. Red Arrow Dataset is based on GObject Introspection.
+
+[Apache Arrow Dataset](https://arrow.apache.org/) is one of Apache Arrow components to read and write semantic datasets stored in different locations and formats.
+
+[GObject Introspection](https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GObjectIntrospection) is a middleware for language bindings of C library. GObject Introspection can generate language bindings automatically at runtime.
+
+Red Arrow Dataset uses [Apache Arrow Dataset GLib](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/c_glib) and [gobject-introspection gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/gobject-introspection) to generate Ruby bindings of Apache Arrow Dataset.
+
+Apache Arrow Dataset GLib is a C wrapper for [Apache Arrow Dataset C++](https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/cpp). GObject Introspection can't use Apache Arrow Dataset C++ directly. Apache Arrow Dataset GLib is a bridge between Apache Arrow Dataset C++ and GObject Introspection.
+
+gobject-introspection gem is a Ruby bindings of GObject Introspection. Red Arrow Dataset uses GObject Introspection via gobject-introspection gem.
+
+## Install
+
+Install Apache Arrow Dataset GLib before install Red Arrow Dataset. Install Apache Arrow GLib before install Red Arrow. See [Apache Arrow install document](https://arrow.apache.org/install/) for details.
+
+Install Red Arrow Dataset after you install Apache Arrow Dataset GLib:
+
+```console
+$ gem install red-arrow-dataset
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+require "arrow-dataset"
+
+# TODO
