 Similarly to other concepts in DataFusion, you'll implement various traits to create your own catalogs, schemas, and tables. The following sections describe the traits you'll need to implement.
 
-The `CatalogProvider` trait has methods to set a schema to a name, get a schema by name, and list all schemas. The `SchemaProvider`, which can be registered with a `CatalogProvider`, has methods to set a table to a name, get a table by name, list all tables, deregister a table, and check for a table's existence. The `TableProvider` trait has methods to scan underlying data and use it in DataFusion. The `TableProvider` trait is covered in more detail [here](./custom-table-providers.md).

 As mentioned, the `CatalogProvider` can manage the schemas in a catalog, and the `MemoryCatalogProvider` is a simple implementation of the `CatalogProvider` trait. It stores schemas in a `DashMap`.
 
 ```rust
-pub struct MemoryCatalogList {
-    /// Collection of catalogs containing schemas and ultimately TableProviders
-    pub catalogs: DashMap<String, Arc<dyn CatalogProvider>>,
+pub struct MemoryCatalogProvider {
+    schemas: DashMap<String, Arc<dyn SchemaProvider>>,
