## What is a Software Catalog?
The Backstage Software Catalog — actually, a software catalog, since it includes
more than just services — is a centralized system that keeps track of ownership
and metadata for all the software in your ecosystem (services, websites,
libraries, data pipelines, etc). The catalog is built around the concept of
[metadata YAML files](descriptor-format.md) stored together with the code, which
are then harvested and visualized in Backstage.
