 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An Image [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:catalog_entry|Catalog]] is a controlled collection of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_record|Image Records]] used to identify, locate, compare, select, and govern available [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Images]].
 +
 +The catalog may record image identities, versions, operating systems, processor architectures, capabilities, compliance postures, source revisions, provider identifiers, integrity information, lifecycle status, and associated evidence.
 +
 +An Image Catalog supports image selection by allowing deployment and composition processes to compare image requirements with the characteristics of available images.
 +
 +Within Crucible, the Image Catalog may connect a built image with its provider-specific realizations, controlled inputs, compliance results, and [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]].
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//controlled collection of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_record|image records]] used to identify, locate, compare, select, and govern available [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|machine images]]//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalized from artifact catalog, image registry, configuration management, cloud-image management, and software inventory usage and specialized for the Crucible architecture and operational model.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +An Image Catalog records information about Machine Images. It does not necessarily store the image content itself.
 +
 +An Image Catalog differs from a container registry or package repository because its primary purpose is to describe and govern Machine Images and their realizations.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +An Image Catalog records a hardened [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:rhel]] 9 [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k:kubernetes]] image, its processor architecture, source revisions, compliance results, cryptographic digest, OCI image identifier, and approved lifecycle status.
