 ## Usage Notes
 
 !!! note
     - Many repositories contain code for reference purposes only. To run them, updates may be required to the code and environment files.
     - Links for only publicly available datasets are provided. Many datasets used in the repositories are only available on the Vector cluster.
 
+## Repository Organization
+
+The catalog is organized by implementation type to help you quickly find the resources you need:
+
+* **Bootcamp implementations**: Educational resources designed for workshops and learning purposes
+* **Tool implementations**: Utility libraries and general-purpose tools
+* **Applied Research implementations**: Code tied to specific research projects or papers
+
+Each implementation includes algorithm tags, dataset information, and other metadata to aid in discovery.
