Product, Category and Catalog

[Mansour]

Hello all,

I understand that a Category is a group of product, and categories can
be grouped under parent_category.


I read that "Catalog – A catalog is a collection of products that are
grouped in categories." from
http://www.hotwaxmedia.com/apache-ofbiz-blog/ofbiz/ofbiz-tutorial-how-to-setup-the-ofbiz-catalog-manager

What is the point of having a catalog if a category can do it ??

I am confused here a bit. I didn't find this in the Data Model
Resource Book (volume 1). If I missed it or if it's in another volume,
please let me know.

Thank you.

Catalog manage how categories will be used
ex : which will be use for Root Tree, which will be used for promotion, ....

look to "associate a category to catalog" type of association is clear
