: As can be seen in the article, it's about categorizing aircraft into groups, so that search filters can be supported, e.g. for queries in GUI front-ends like fgrun etc (or the website), or even just the new [[Aircraft Center]].

About Catalog metadata
I have sometimes crossed path with this article and wonder a little bit what it is about. If you feel for it some day could you add a short introduction (three or four lines) about its purpose and background? I have some idea about what it is but I do not know for sure.
