This two information do not have to match necessarily.

You can also find there another useful metadata.

Finally, the catalog contains also the list, frameworks, which include the namespace or type:

Thanks to .NET team for providing this information. I like Open Source idea of .NET, but I really appreciate that there is somebody behind it, who cares about big picture and transparency.
