Class Metabank.Catalog

Represents a catalog in metabase - a top-level folder in the metabase file system that contains logically-grouped data. Catalog implementers contain various instances of Section-derived classes that represent pieces of metabase whole data that can lazily load from the source file system. Contrary to monolithic application configurations, that load at once from a single source (i.e. disk file), metadata class allows to wrap configuration and load segments of configuration on a as-needed basis
