-#  Component description file for DataHub module.\r
-#\r
 #  This driver initializes and installs the Data Hub protocol.\r
+#\r
+#  The data hub is a volatile database that is intended as the major focus for the accumulation of\r
+#  manageability data.T he hub is fed by "producers" with chunks of data in a defined format.\r
+#  Consumers may then extract the data in temporal "log" order.As an example, progress codes might\r
+#  be recorded in the data hub for future processing.Ot her data contributed to the data hub might\r
+#  include, for example, statistics on enumerated items such as memory, add-in buses, and add-in\r
+#  cards and data on errors encountered during boot (for example, the system did not boot off the\r
+#  network because the cable was not plugged in).\r
+#  Some classes of data have defined formats.For example, the amount of memory in the system is\r
+#  reported in a standard format so that consumers can be written to extract the data.O ther data is\r
+#  system specific.For example, additional detail on errors might be specific to the driver that\r
+#  discovered the error.The consumer might be a driver that tabularizes data from the data hub,\r
+#  providing a mechanism for the raw data to be made available to the OS for post-processing by\r
+#  OS-based applications.\r
+#  The intent of the data hub is for drivers that enumerate and configure parts of the system to report\r
+#  their discoveries to the data hub.This data can then be extracted by other drivers that report those\r
+#  discoveries using standard manageability interfaces such as SMBIOS and Intelligent Platform\r
+#  Management Interface (IPMI).The alternative to a data-hub-like architecture is to require all\r
+#  drivers to be aware of all reporting formats.\r
