1. Introduction

   The intended audience for this document are mainly data managers
   using X.500 Directory Services. With the help of these guidelines it
   should be easier for them to define the structure for the part of the
   Directory Information Tree they want to model, e.g., the
   representation of their organisation in the Directory. In addition,
   decisions like which data elements to store for each kind of entry
   shall be supported.

   These guidelines concentrate mainly on the White Pages use of the
   Directory, the X.500 application with most operational experience
   today, nonetheless many recommendations are also valid for other
   applications of the Directory.

   As a pre-requisite to this document, it is assumed that the COSINE
   and Internet X.500 Schema is followed [1].
