+Redfish Interoperability Profile
+================================
+
+Ironic projects provides Redfish Interoperability Profile located in
+``redfish-interop-profiles`` folder at source code root. The Redfish
+Interoperability Profile is a JSON document written in a particular format
+that serves two purposes.
+
+* It enables the creation of a human-readable document that merges the
+ profile requirements with the Redfish schema into a single document
+ for developers or users.
+* It allows a conformance test utility to test a Redfish Service
+ implementation for conformance with the profile.
+
+The JSON document structure is intended to align easily with JSON payloads
+retrieved from Redfish Service implementations, to allow for easy comparisons
+and conformance testing. Many of the properties defined within this structure
+have assumed default values that correspond with the most common use case, so
+that those properties can be omitted from the document for brevity.
+
+Validation of Profiles using DMTF tool
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+An open source utility has been created by the Redfish Forum to verify that
+a Redfish Service implementation conforms to the requirements included in a
+Redfish Interoperability Profile. The Redfish Interop Validator is available
+for download from the DMTF's organization on Github at
+https://github.com/DMTF/Redfish-Interop-Validator. Refer to instructions in
+README on how to configure and run validation.
