-xmlcatmgr is a command line script used to manipulate SGML and XML catalogs.
-It is designed with simplicity in mind:  it does not depend on external
-programs nor libraries, so it is ideal to manage catalog files from inside
-pkgsrc.  It is also useful to handle shared directories like share/sgml and
-share/xml.
+XML Catalog Manager (xmlcatmgr in its short form) is a small utility used
+to manipulate SGML and XML catalogs.  It is extremely small and lightweight,
+specially designed to be run from packaging systems.  Basically, it allows
+adding and removing entries from catalogs in a completely automated way.
 
-XML catalogs are files that contain mappings from public identifiers to
-system identifiers.  This allows XML parsers to locate public identifiers
-in the local system.
+A catalog is a lookup mechanism used to translate entities into other
+different entities.  They can, for example, map public identifiers to
+local files or URIs.  This allows you to tell the parser where to look
+for entities without having to modify the original document source.
