'''Catalogs''' have been the main tool for sharing knowledge on products between business partners for centuries. b-op also continues this tradition and uses digital catalogs as well. Difference to other players in the P2P or S2P markets, they are used for direct data exchange between market players in a point-to-point manner instead of notifying a central platform, which then distributes the product information.

	=== ~~Vendor~~ side ===		=== Supplier side ===
			On the supplier side, [[ZUGSEIL SCALE]] already comes with basic catalog definition and distribution functionality for truely digital collaboration with your customers. [[ZUGSEIL MERCATA]] extends this with these additional functionality

	~~Once a catalog is published, the '''subscriber management process''' is triggered, which is facilitated by the~~ [[App:Catalog distribution manager\|catalog distribution manager]]~~. it~~ is ~~essential to understand which partners are using your~~ catalog ~~and how much revenue has been made over these catalogs~~ per ~~partner.In this process the contents~~, the audience and the validity are defined. The catalog is freely editable at any time. The owner of the b-op digital can share that current state of the catalog with his peers by creating an immutable revision and setting its state to published. This makes the catalog revision available to the ~~target audience and will immediately inform all existing subscribers of this~~ catalog~~, that a new revision is available.~~		The [[App:Catalog distribution manager\|catalog distribution manager app]] is extended with capability for:
