The TISDAG (Technical Infrastructure for Swedish Directory Access
Gateway) project provided valuable insight into the current reality
of deploying a wide-scale directory service.  This document
catalogues some of the experiences gained in developing the necessary
infrastructure for a national (i.e., multi-organizational) directory
service and pilot deployment of the service in an environment with
off-the-shelf directory service products.  A perspective on the
project's relationship to other directory deployment projects is
provided, along with some proposals for future extensions of the work
(larger scale deployment, other application areas).
 
These are our own observations, based on work done and general
project discussions.  No doubt, other project participants have their
own list of project experiences; we don't claim this document is
exhaustive!
