+
+Soledad documents
+-----------------
+
+KeyManager uses two types of documents for the keyring:
+
+* key document, that stores each gpg key.
+
+* active document, that relates an address to its corresponding key.
+
+
+Each key can have 0 or more active documents with a different email address
+each:
+
+::
+
+  .-------------.          .-------------.
+  | foo@foo.com |          | bar@bar.com |
+  '-------------'          '-------------'
+         |                        |     
+         |      .-----------.     |     
+         |      |           |     |     
+         |      |    key    |     |     
+         '----->|           |<----'
+                |           |     
+                '-----------'
+
+
+Fields in a key document:
