BTrees are very simple. They are documented (to a large degree) by the 
the interface module, Interfaces.py.

Catalog is much tougher, especially since it's been in a state
of significant flux.  It's really not being maintained/packaged
in a way that makes it suitable for use outside of Zope at this
time.

I'm not at all sure that catalog has been used outside of
Zope. In fact, I doubt it has.
