+ASN.1 type system
+-----------------
+
+The ASN.1 language defines a collection of data types such as *INTEGER*
+or *SET*. With pyasn1, ASN.1 types are represented by Python classes.
+The base classes are described in this part of the documentation.
+
+User code might not need to use them directly, except for figuring out
+if given object belongs to ASN.1 type or not.
