The support files for the BASE Manager module include a Catalogues subfolder.
C:\Program Files\CARIS\BASE Editor\<version>\modules\BASE Manager\support\Catalogues
This folder contains sets of sample catalogue files. Catalogue files control the object and attribute types available for feature objects. In this context, they control the feature types available for objects in a database in Bathy DataBASE Server. The catalogue of a database is defined by a pool file and a profile file in XML format. Different catalogues generally have object and attribute acronyms specific to a particular task or department. The default catalogue of each new database is controlled by the BathyObjectPool and BathyObjectProfile settings in the Environment settings of BDB Administration Tools. This setting can be changed to point to any of the catalogues in this folder.
