+# OSI Polaris Converter
+
+A two-way converter between [OSI semantic models](../../core-spec/spec.md) and [Apache Polaris](https://polaris.apache.org/) catalogs.
+
+Apache Polaris is an open-source catalog for Apache Iceberg. This converter communicates with Polaris via the Iceberg REST Catalog API to import catalog metadata into OSI format and export OSI models back into Polaris.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+mvn clean package
+```
+
+Requires Java 11+.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Import (Polaris → OSI)
+
+Reads all namespaces and tables from a Polaris catalog and generates an OSI YAML file.
+
+```bash
+java -jar target/osi-polaris-converter-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar import \
+  --url http://localhost:8181 \
+  --catalog my_catalog \
+  --client-id <client-id> \
+  --client-secret <client-secret> \
+  -o output.yaml
+```
+
+Each Polaris namespace becomes a separate OSI semantic model containing datasets for every table in that namespace.
+
+### Export (OSI → Polaris)
+
+Reads an OSI YAML file and creates namespaces and Iceberg tables in a Polaris catalog.
+
+```bash
+java -jar target/osi-polaris-converter-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar export \
+  --url http://localhost:8181 \
+  --catalog my_catalog \
+  --client-id <client-id> \
+  --client-secret <client-secret> \
+  model.yaml
+```
+
+Each OSI semantic model becomes a Polaris namespace, and each dataset becomes an Iceberg table.
+
+### Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `--url URL` | Polaris server URL (required) |
+| `--catalog CATALOG` | Catalog name (required) |
+| `--client-id ID` | OAuth2 client ID |
+| `--client-secret SECRET` | OAuth2 client secret |
+| `--token TOKEN` | Pre-existing bearer token (alternative to client credentials) |
+| `-o FILE` | Output file for import mode (default: stdout) |
+
+## Mapping Reference
+
+### Import (Polaris → OSI)
+
+| Polaris / Iceberg | OSI |
+|-------------------|-----|
+| Namespace | `semantic_model` (name, description) |
+| Table | `dataset` (name) |
+| Table location (`catalog.namespace.table`) | `dataset.source` |
+| Schema fields | `field` with `ANSI_SQL` dialect expression |
+| `identifier-field-ids` | `dataset.primary_key` |
+| Temporal types (`timestamp`, `timestamptz`, `date`, `time`) | `field.dimension.is_time: true` |
+| Table properties | `dataset.custom_extensions` (vendor: `COMMON`) |
+
+### Export (OSI → Polaris)
+
+| OSI | Polaris / Iceberg |
+|-----|-------------------|
+| `semantic_model` | Namespace |
+| `dataset` | Table |
+| `dataset.source` | Stored in table property `osi.source` |
+| `dataset.primary_key` | `identifier-field-ids` |
+| `field` | Schema column |
+| `field.dimension.is_time: true` | `timestamptz` type |
+| `dataset.description` | Table property `comment` |
+
+### Type Inference (Export)
+
+Since OSI fields are expression-based and don't carry explicit types, the exporter infers Iceberg types using:
+
+1. **Round-trip hints** — if a field description starts with `Iceberg type:` (produced by the importer), that type is used directly.
+2. **Time dimensions** — fields with `dimension.is_time: true` map to `timestamptz`.
+3. **Name conventions** — `*_id` → `long`, `*_date` → `date`, `*_at`/`*_timestamp` → `timestamptz`, `*_amount`/`*_price` → `decimal(18,2)`, `*_count`/`quantity` → `int`, `is_*`/`has_*` → `boolean`.
+4. **Default** — `string`.
