+The Arrow community would like to introduce version 1.0.0 of the [Arrow
Database Connectivity (ADBC)][adbc] specification.
+**ADBC aims to be an columnar, minimal-overhead alternative JDBC/ODBC for
analytical applications**.
+It defines vendor-agnostic and Arrow-based APIs for common database tasks,
like executing queries and getting basic metadata.
+These APIs are available, either directly or via bindings, in C/C++, Go, Java,
Python, Ruby, and soon R.
+
+With ADBC, developers get both the benefits of using columnar Arrow data and
having generic API abstractions.
+Like [JDBC][jdbc]/[ODBC][odbc], ADBC defines database-independent interaction
APIs, and relies on drivers to implement those APIs for particular databases.
+ADBC aims to bring all of these together under a single API:
+
+- Vendor-specific Arrow-native protocols, like [Arrow Flight SQL][flight-sql]
or those offered by ClickHouse or Google BigQuery;
+- Non-columnar protocols, like the PostgreSQL wire format;
+- Non-columnar API abstractions, like JDBC/ODBC.
+
+In other words: **ADBC is a single API for getting Arrow data in and out of
databases**.
Review Comment:
Right, three classes within a single API. I'll think about rewording this a
bit.
