Overview

Publishing agreements often define named groups of compositions — “Controlled Compositions”, “Back Catalogue”, “Heritage Catalog”, “Sunset Publishing Catalog” — and then grant rights over that group as a whole. The Publishing Catalogs extraction captures each such defined-term catalogue the agreement grants control over, so that individual composition assets can be linked to the catalogue they belong to. This is a publishing-side concept. Most recording-only agreements return no catalogues here.

​
When a Catalog Is Extracted

A catalogue is only extracted when it is a genuine defined term the agreement exercises control over — it must have a name (a defined term in the contract), a definition (what the catalogue contains), and the agreement must grant control over it (license, assignment, or administration). Passing references to a catalogue the agreement does not act on are not extracted, and a catalogue is never inferred.

What Gets Extracted

Each catalogue entry contains:

​
Linked Assets

Extracted composition assets can carry a catalogue link — the catalogue a composition belongs to — so the two views stay connected. Album releases carry the equivalent album link. These links let you see, for a given catalogue, which compositions fall under it.
