# Catalog overview

This section covers logical descriptions for applications, datasets and data elements. A logical description is a universal and common description of entities. These descriptions can exist before entities are created. for example:

- An application can be described before it exists.

- A dataset can be documented before the corresponding data values are stored in, or provided by, a physical asset.
