Motivation
Digital file organization using folders is inefficient due to limitations of the folder concept itself. Catalog offers an alternative way to organize files using a concept of categories instead. Unlike the folder to file relationship of one-to-many, Catalog implements a relationship of many-to-many between a category and a file.
