+Note about the examples
+=======================
+
+This set of NewsML-G2 examples is based on version 2.25 for the Power Level
+and on 2.24 for the Core Level (which is not upgraded any further, 
+see http://dev.iptc.org/G2-Standards)
+
+The NewsML-G2 examples are updated once a year, not for each new version. 
+As the latest NewsML-G2 versions don't set essential changes and
+primarily additions the files in this folder are highly usable  
+to this version of the standard too.
