/**
 * The Catalog class represents an entity Catalog as defined by
 * <a
 * href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14809/xml-catalogs.html">
 * XML Catalogs, OASIS Standard V1.1, 7 October 2005</a>.
 * <p>
 * A catalog is an XML file that contains a root {@code catalog} entry with a list
 * of catalog entries. The entries can also be grouped with a {@code group} entry.
 * The catalog and group entries may specify {@code prefer} and {@code xml:base}
 * attributes that set preference of public or system type of entries and base URI
 * to resolve relative URIs.
 *
 * <p>
 * A catalog can be used in two situations:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Locate the external resources with a public or system identifier;
 * </li>
 * <li>Locate an alternate URI reference with an URI.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * For case 1, the standard defines 6 External Identifier Entries:<br>
 * {@code public, system, rewriteSystem, systemSuffix, delegatePublic, and
 * delegateSystem}.
 * <p>
 * While for case 2, it defines 4 URI Entries:<br>
 * {@code uri, rewriteURI, uriSuffix and delegateURI}.
 * <p>
 * In addition to the above entry types, a catalog may define nextCatalog
 * entries to add additional catalog entry files.
