-### Adding catalogs
+### Catalogs
-Iceberg comes with [catalogs](spark-configuration.md#catalogs) that enable SQL
commands to manage tables and load them by name. Catalogs are configured using
properties under `spark.sql.catalog.(catalog_name)`.
+Apache Iceberg uses [catalogs](https://iceberg.apache.org/concepts/catalog/)
to track and manage table metadata and enable SQL operations. Iceberg provides
several [catalog implementations](spark-configuration.md#catalogs), which can
be configured using properties under `spark.sql.catalog.(catalog_name)`.

Review Comment:
maybe something like this,
```suggestion
This command creates a JDBC-based catalog named `local` for tables under
`$PWD/warehouse` and adds support for Iceberg tables to Spark's built-in
catalog (`spark_catalog`) using the Hive connector.
```
Is it the "Hive connector" or the "Hive Metastore"?
But I'm also incline not to add this. I feel like this is too detailed for a
"getting started" page.
