+# AWS Semantic Conventions
+
+This directory defines standards for resource attributes that only apply to Amazon
+Web Services (AWS) resources. If an attribute could apply to resources from more than one cloud
+provider (like account ID, operating system, etc), it belongs in the parent
+`semantic_conventions` directory.
+
+## Generic AWS Attributes
+
+Attributes that relate to AWS or use AWS-specific terminology, but are used by several
+services within AWS or are abstracted away from any particular service:
+
+- [AWS Logs](./logs.md)
+
+## Services
+
+Attributes that relate to an individual AWS service:
+
+- [Elastic Container Service](./ecs.md)
