Abstract
This document defines techniques for representing two types of
information mapping in the OSI Directory [1].
1. Mapping from a key to a value (or set of values), as might
be done in a table lookup.
2. Mapping from a distinguished name to an associated
value (or values), where the values are not defined by the owner
of the entry. This is achieved by use of a directory subtree.
These techniques were developed for supporting MHS use of Directory
[2], but are specified separately as they have more general
applicability.
