-Creates the Global Dynamic Exposure (GDE) model.
+Exports the Global Dynamic Exposure (GDE) model onto desired output formats.
 
 ## Description
 
-`gde-core` creates the Global Dynamic Exposure (GDE) model by bringing 
-together:
-- aggregated exposure models distributed on zoom level 18 tiles (output 
-of [gde-importer](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-importer)),
-- OpenBuildingMap (OBM) buildings (output of 
-[rabotnik-obm](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/rabotnik-obm)),
-- automatically-calculated completeness of OpenBuildingMap (OBM) (output of 
-[obmgapanalysis](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/obmgapanalysis)).
+`gde-exporter` retrieves data from the Global Dynamic Exposure (GDE) model created with 
+[gde-core](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-core) and 
+exports it onto desired output formats.
 
-## Installing gde-core
+## Installing gde-exporter
 
 ### Software dependencies
 
 - Python 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9
 
-### Python libraries
-
-- `numpy`
-- `shapely`
-- `geopandas`
-- `gde-importer`
-
 ### Install
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-core.git
-cd gde-core
+git clone https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-exporter.git
+cd gde-exporter
 pip3 install -e .
 ```
 
-## Preparation
-
-### Run the previous steps
-
-`gde-core` requires that the following software be run in advance for the geographic area and 
-input aggregated exposure models of interest:
-
-1. [rabotnik-obm](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/rabotnik-obm): 
-processing of [OpenStreetMap (OSM)](https://www.openstreetmap.org) data to generate the 
-`OpenBuildingMap` (OBM).
-2. [obmgapanalysis](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/obmgapanalysis): 
-estimation of completeness of `OpenBuildingMap` by means of an automatic comparison between 
-remote-sensing-derived built-up area (from the 
-[Global Human Settlement Layer](https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/jrc-ghsl-10007)) and 
-OBM-derived built-up area.
-3. [gde-importer](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-importer): 
-import of aggregated exposure models and their distribution on zoom level 18 tiles.
-
-This requisite implies as well that the database tables that are output of these software exist 
-and are populated with relevant data. The databases associated with these software are:
-
-- [GDE Tiles](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/database-gdetiles)
-- [OBM Tiles](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/database-obmtiles)
-- [OBM Buildings](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/database-obmbuildings)
-
-### Configuration
-
-Copy the file `config_example.yml` to your working directory as `config.yml` and provide the 
-necessary parameters. Required parameters are:
-
-- `model_name`: Name of the input aggregated exposure model to be processed. It needs to have 
-been imported by 
-[gde-importer](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/gde-importer) 
-already.
-- `exposure_entities_to_run`: List of names of exposure entities for which the code will be run. 
-Currently supported options:
-  - "all": The list of names associated with `model_name` will be retrieved from the 
-  [GDE Tiles](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/database-gdetiles) 
-database.
-  - A comma-space-separated list of entity names: This list of names will be used.
-  - A full path to a .txt or .csv file:  The list of names will be retrieved from the indicated 
-  .txt/.csv file.
-- `exposure_entities_code`: Either "ISO3" or a nested structure with exposure entities names 
-and 3-character codes. When running `model_name=esrm20`, "ISO3" is the preferred option.
-- `occupancies_to_run`: List of occupancies for which the code will be run, separated by ", " 
-(comma and space). They need to exist for the indicated `exposure format`. Currently supported 
-values: residential, commercial, industrial.
-- `database_gde_tiles`: Credentials for the 
-[GDE Tiles](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/database-gdetiles) 
-database where information on the GDE tiles is stored.
-- `database_obm_buildings`: Credentials for the 
-[OBM Buildings](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/database-obmbuildings) 
-database where information on the OBM buildings is stored.
-- `database_completeness`: Credentials for the 
-[OBM Tiles](https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/openbuildingmap/database-obmtiles)
-database where information on the OSM-completeness of tiles is stored.
-- `number_cores`: Number of cores used for parallelisation.
