-New versions of the [OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions] mean new versions of the `semconv` package need to be generated.
-The `semconv-generate` make target is used for this.
-
-1. Set the `TAG` environment variable to the semantic convention tag you want to generate.
-2. Run the `make semconv-generate ...` target from this repository.

-For example,
-
-```sh
-export TAG="v1.30.0" # Change to the release version you are generating.
-make semconv-generate # Uses the exported TAG.
-```
-
-This should create a new sub-package of [`semconv`](./semconv).
-Ensure things look correct before submitting a pull request to include the addition.

 ## Breaking changes validation
 
 You can run `make gorelease` that runs [gorelease](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/cmd/gorelease) to ensure that there are no unwanted changes done in the public API.
