 knora-py is a python package containing a command line tool for data model (ontology) creation, a library allowing creation of single resources and mass upload using the bulk import of data into the Knora framework.
 
 The package consists of:
-- ```Knora``` Python modules for accessing Knora using the API (ontology creation, data import/export etc.)
-- ```knora-create-ontology``` A command line program to create an ontology out of a simple JSON description

+## Reseting the triplestore with `knora-reset-triplestore`
+This script reads a JSON file containing the data model (ontology) definition,
+connects to the Knora server and creates the data model.
+
+### Usage:
+
+```bash
+$ knora-reset-triplestore
+```
+It supports the following options:
+
+- _"-s server" | "--server server"_: The URl of the Knora server [default: localhost:3333]
+- _"-u username" | "--user username"_: Username to log into Knora [default: root@example.com]
+- _"-p password" | "--password password"_: The password for login to the Knora server [default: test]
+
+For resetting of the triplestore through Knora-API to work, it is necessary to start the Knora-API server
+with a configuration parameter allowing this operation (e.g., `KNORA_WEBAPI_ALLOW_RELOAD_OVER_HTTP`
+environment variable or the corresponding setting in `application.conf`).
