Direct Known Subclasses:

InvDatasetScan
```
public class InvCatalogRef
extends InvDatasetImpl
```
A reference to a InvCatalog. The referenced catalog is not read until getDatasets() is called. A client will see the referenced catalog as a nested dataset.

The client can also do asynchronous reading, if the InvCatalogFactory supports it, and if readAsynch() is used.
```
 Parent relationship:
   ds -> catRef -- catalog
                      ^ top  -> ds ...
 
  ParentView relationship:
   ds -> catRef -> top  -> ds ...
           (or) -> ds                 if UseProxy
 

 
```
