How to use these catalogs?

Canonical IDs are referenced in OAS YAML files using the fields rubricRef, personaRef, recipeRef and similar:

# In an exercise, reference a type and a rubric:
spec:
  exerciseTypeRef: global.exercise_type.whiteboard.v1
  rubricRef: global.c0.whiteboard.stem.math.v1

The catalog is updated automatically by running:

bash ce-cli.sh taxonomy catalog docs
