Catalog: a catalog is a file, which contains folders, columns, conditions, calculations and prompts.

1. Catalog does not contain any data.

2. It just contains the table structures and metadata definitions.

Types of Catalogs: in cognos, we have '4' types of catalogs:

1. Distributed Catalog.

2. Personal Catalog.

3. Shared Catalog.

4. Secured Catalog.

In general, we choose either Distributed Catalog (or) Shared Catalog.
