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].
