+Versioning
+----------
+
+Serd uses strict [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/), which reflects the
+ABI of the C library. The shared library name, include directory, and
+pkg-config file are all suffixed with the major version number to allow for
+parallel installation of several major versions (which distribution packages
+should preserve). To build against serd, use the pkg-config package `serd-0`:
+
+ pkg-config pkg-config --cflags --libs serd-0
