+## Semantic Conventions
+
+This package uses Semantic Conventions [Version 1.25.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/tree/v1.25.0/docs/system).
+As for now the Semantic Conventions are bundled in this package but eventually will be imported from `@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions` package when it is updated to latest version.
