-**The ADAO module provides data assimilation and optimization**
-features in Python or SALOME context (see
-http://www.salome-platform.org/). Briefly stated, Data Assimilation is
-a methodological framework to compute the optimal estimate of the
-inaccessible true value of a system state, eventually over time. It
-uses information coming from experimental measurements or observations,
-and from numerical *a priori* models, including information about their
-errors. Parts of the framework are also known under the names of
-*parameter estimation*, *inverse problems*, *Bayesian estimation*,
-*optimal interpolation*, etc. More details can be found in the full

 Only the use of ADAO text programming interface (API/TUI) is introduced
 here. This interface gives ability to create a calculation object in a
 similar way than the case building obtained through the graphical
-interface (GUI). When one wants to elaborate "by hand" the TUI
+interface (GUI). When one wants to elaborate directly the TUI
 calculation case, it is recommended to extensively use all the ADAO
 module documentation, and to go back if necessary to the graphical
 interface (GUI), to get all the elements allowing to correctly set the
