# Introducing {{uranie}}

{{uranie}} (the version under discussion here being {{uranieversion}}) is a software dedicated to 
perform studies on uncertainty propagation, sensitivity analysis and surrogate model generation and 
calibration, based on [{{root}}](http://root.cern.ch) (the corresponding version being {{rootversion}}).

As a result, {{uranie}} benefits from numerous features of {{root}}, among which:

- an interactive C++ interpreter (Cling), built on the top of LLVM and Clang;

- a Python interface (PyROOT);

- an access to **SQL** databases;

- many advanced data visualisation features;

- and much more...

In the following sections, the {{root}} platform will be briefly introduced as well as the python 
interface it brings once the {{uranie}} classes are declared and known. The organisation of the 
{{uranie}} platform is then introduced, from a broad scale, giving access to more refined discussion 
within this documentation.
