 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Access, Searching and 
 Indexing of Directories Working Group of the IETF.                        

       Title     : The vCard Schema For Use In LDAPv3

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [LDAPV3] is gaining 
widespread acceptance as a method for accessing Internet directories.  Many
of the LDAP clients accessing these directories also provide support for 
emitting the directory information in the form of a vCard electronic 
business card object. This memo defines a new X.500 object class, called 
the vCardObject, that extends the X.521 standard organizationalPerson and 
residentialPerson in order to provide a unique LDAP schema for accessing  
Internet directories in terms of the vCard attributes.         
            
The schema defined by this memo should be used when accessing a directory 
via LDAP Version 3 and searching or retrieving directory information based 
on vCard related attributes. The schema describes the attribute types and 
object classes that have a 1-to-one correspondence with vCard properties.  

This schema may also be used to define a set of object classes and 
attributes for storing metadata and binding information for a directory 
entry that closely follows the vCard object in directories that support 
LDAP.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-asid-ldapv3schema-vcard-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.
