 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Common Indexing Protocol 
 Working Group of the IETF.                                                

       Title     : Hierarchical Extensions to the Common Indexing Protocol 
       Author(s) : C. Weider, P. Leach
       Filename  : draft-ietf-find-cip-hierarchy-00.txt
       Pages     : 15

This work explores what, in the parlance of the current CIP draft, is 
called an index type -- specifically, a new kind of index that merges 
indexing of  hierarchically named attribute-value entities (such as in LDAP
and RWHOIS) and ones without distinguished names (such as in WHOIS++). It 
is based on a previous version of the CIP specification, but that was just 
a convenient syntactical jumping off point. It is intended to be orthogonal
to the FIND working group task of  defining a framing syntax and 
functionality for a common indexing data wrapping protocol, and that the 
concepts and protocol elements in this draft should be able to be expressed
in a manner consistent with the new CIP framework at the appropriate time.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-find-cip-hierarchy-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
