This document provides an overview of the attribute types and object 
classes defined by the ISO and ITU-T committees in the X.500 
documents, in particular those intended for use by directory clients.
This is the most widely used schema for LDAP/X.500 directories, and 
many other schema definitions for white pages objects use it as a 
basis.  This document does not cover attributes used for the 
administration of X.500 directory servers, nor does it include 
attributes defined by other ISO/ITU-T documents.

This document is a product of the Access, Searching and Indexing of
Directories Working Group of the IETF.
 
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
 
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
