+
+The Arrow community has accepted version 1.0.0 of the [Arrow Database
Connectivity (ADBC)][adbc] specification.
+ADBC is an API standard for Arrow-based database access.
+It defines abstract APIs in C, Go, and Java for performing common database
tasks using Arrow data, like executing queries and getting basic metadata.
+
+Just like time-tested [JDBC][jdbc] and [ODBC][odbc], ADBC defines
database-independent interaction APIs, and relies on drivers to implement those
APIs for particular databases.
+It aims to provide a single API that works with Arrow-native protocols, like
[Arrow Flight SQL][flight-sql]; vendor-specific APIs that offer Arrow data,
such as those offered by ClickHouse or Google BigQuery; and non-columnar
protocols and APIs like the PostgreSQL wire format or JDBC.
+
+In other words: **ADBC is a single API for getting Arrow data in and out of
databases**.
+Underneath, ADBC driver implementations take care of bridging the actual
system.
+Arrow-native systems can directly pass through data without conversion, while
the driver takes care of converting data in other cases, saving the application
from doing the work.
+
+## Examples
+
+*Note: implementations are still under development, separate from the API
standard itself. Examples are subject to change.*
