CMDB Vs CMDB_CI (2024)

If I check the ServiceNow Tables document its states cmdb_ci is the base table while when we go to ServiceNow to can create aTransform Map, there is one more table that shows up as target table - Base Configuration Item [cmdb], screenshot attached.

Why does this Base Configuration Item table exists, there is no mention of it in the ServiceNow document. Please advise as it seems I am missing a concept here -https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/paris-servicenow-platform/page/product/configuration-management/reference/cmdb-tables-details.html

In the link above cmdb_ci is described as base configuration item (screenshot attached), its pretty ambiguous. Please clarify 🙂 Thank you in advance.
