Definition of Schema and Catalog (which schema to use)

While creating a table using the latest development build, I was asked 
which schema should contain the table. My two choices were  
INFORMATION_SCHEMA and PUBLIC. Which schema should I use and why? The 
default is INFORMATION_SCHEMA.

My expectation was that it should be stored in PUBLIC, but the default 
is the other. I was not able to actually create the tables to see if I 
could notice a difference, because the table creation wizard always 
crashed when I selected Finish. Then again, the wizard had some other 
problems as well :-(

This lead me to ask, what is the definition of CATALOG and SCHEMA, as 
they relate to OpenOffice.org.
