Catalog queries are expressed as a JSON <query-parameters> Interest name component:

Query parameters simultaneously support two types of queries:

1. component type-based

2. absolute prefix-based

The requestor will encode query parameters as a JSON object, with the format: <tt>{[field1]=[search1],[field2]=[search2],?=[search3]</tt>} where <tt>field1</tt> and <tt>field2</tt> are Name components. <tt>?</tt> indicates an absolute prefix-based autocomplete search where <tt>search3</tt> is the prefix. <i>(See [[Schema]])</i>

Catalogs answer queries with one or more Query Result Data packets. Each packet contains a JSON list of matching NDN name URIs
101
Query responses are Data containing a JSON list of matching name URIs. Each packet is named according to:
102 1 Alison Craig
103 26 Chengyu Fan
    /<prefix>/query-results/<query-parameters>/<version>/<catalog-id>/<segmentNumber>
104 15 Alison Craig

The response set is versioned and uniquely identifies the catalog that produced it (e.g. identity key digest).
