- * The bulk of the Field Types API are related to field types. A field type
- * represents a particular type of data (integer, string, date, etc.) that
- * can be attached to a fieldable entity. hook_field_info() defines the basic
- * properties of a field type, and a variety of other field hooks are called by
- * the Field Attach API to perform field-type-specific actions.

+ * In the Field API, each field has a type, which determines what kind of data
+ * (integer, string, date, etc.) the field can hold, which settings it provides,
+ * and so on. The data type(s) accepted by a field are defined in
+ * hook_field_schema(); other basic properties of a field are defined in
+ * hook_field_info(). The other hooks below are called by the Field Attach API
+ * to perform field-type-specific actions.
  *
  * The Field Types API also defines two kinds of pluggable handlers: widgets
- * and formatters, which specify how the field appears in edit forms and in
- * displayed entities. Widgets and formatters can be implemented by a field-type
- * module for its own field types, or by a third-party module to extend the
- * behavior of existing field types.
- *
- * @see hook_field_widget_info()
- * @see hook_field_formatter_info()

+ * appears in edit forms, while @link field_formatter formatters @endlink
+ * specify how the field appears in displayed entities.
  *
  * A third kind of pluggable handlers, storage backends, is defined by the
  * @link field_storage Field Storage API @endlink.
