 Using the Data API
 ==================
 
+The following provides an introduction to using the CKAN :doc:`DataStore
+<datastore>` Data API.
+
 Introduction
 ============
 
-The Data API builds directly on ElasticSearch, with a resource API endpoint
-being equivalent to a single index 'type' in ElasticSearch (we tend to refer to
-it as a 'table').  This means you can often directly re-use `ElasticSearch
-client libraries`_ when connecting to the API endpoint.
+Each 'table' in the DataStore is an ElasticSearch_ index type ('table'). As
+such the Data API for each CKAN resource is directly equivalent to a single
+index 'type' in ElasticSearch (we tend to refer to it as a 'table').
+
+This means you can (usually) directly re-use `ElasticSearch client libraries`_
+when connecting to a Data API endpoint. It also means that what follows is, in
+essence, a tutorial in using the ElasticSearch_ API.
+
+The following short set of slides provide a brief overview and introduction to
+the DataStore and the Data API.
 
-Furthermore, it means that what is presented below is essentially a tutorial in the ElasticSearch API.

+http://datahub.io/dataset/gold-prices/resource/b9aae52b-b082-4159-b46f-7bb9c158d013
+would have its Data API endpoint at:
+http://datahub.io/api/data/b9aae52b-b082-4159-b46f-7bb9c158d013. If you were
+just using ElasticSearch standalone an example of an endpoint would be:
+http://localhost:9200/gold-prices/monthly-price-table.
+
+.. note::  every resource on a CKAN instance for which a DataStore table is
+           enabled provides links to its Data API endpoint via the Data API
+           button at the top right of the resource page.
