Example systems and methods for cloning catalog objects are described. In one implementation, a method includes creating a copy of a catalog object without copying a data associated with the catalog object by only coping metadata associated with the object. The method further includes modifying, by one or more processors, the data associated with the catalog object independently of the copy of the catalog object.
