+== Generic Geometry Conflation
+
+Hootenanny uses machine learning techniques, customizable scripts, and flexible configuration options to develop algorithms that will yield 
+good conflated output for a given type of data (roads, buildings, etc.). If a type of map data is encountered for which Hootenanny has no
+specific conflation algorithm available, that data will be conflated with Generic Geometry Conflation scripts. This ensures that all data in
+an input map has a chance to be conflated. 
+
+A separate script exists for geometry type Hootenanny conflates. The scripts are:
+
+* `Line.js`
+* `Point.js`
+* `Polygon.js`
+* `PointPolygon.js`
+
+The scripts use very simple techniques to attempt to conflate data, including Euclidean distance matching and type tag similarity scoring. 
+Related configuration options include the `search.generic.*` and `generic.*` options.
