Standard for directory services for electronic mail systems. IBM supports X.500.
ISO/CCITT 'directory' standard designed to support the identification and location of systems, organisations and people, and to supply information about them. [CCITT has now been renamed ITU-T.
The ISO/ CCITT directory service protocol standard.
(standard, communications) The ITU-T and ISO international standard for electronic directory services that store and serve (to clients using a variety of interfaces) centrally-managed personal location information. The standard defines a hierarchical directory structure for administrative domains (organization, divisions, departments and workgroups). Examples: white pages, Knowbot, WHOIS.
ITU-T recommendation specifying a standard for distributed maintenance of files and directories.
An Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol (RFC 2120) defining directory services. See also Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
A CCITT recommendation specifying a standard for distributed maintenance of files and directories.
The CCITT recommendation for Directory Services.
An addressing scheme for directory services.
International standard for Messaging and Directory Services Telecommunications.
CCITT X.500/ISO 9594 open system directory standard
An OSI standard that defines where to find the address to put the electronic envelope of an X.400 transmission. X.500 is the directory of names and addresses similar to a telephone directory.
Specification of the directory service required to support X.400 e-mail.
A standard which defines electronic mail directory services. Mostly used in Europe.
A standard that defines how global directories should be structured.
A directory standard that lets applications like e-mail access information which can either be central or distributed. The benefit of a directory is the ability to minimize the impact on the user of changes to a network. The standard is broken down under subsequent numbers
(including DAP). Directory Access Protocol developed by the ITU, is a standard for global directory services. X.500 defines object classes for a directory and a method for accessing names from a directory. The DAP X.500 protocol supports generalized browsing, directory administration, schema management, full authentication, and the infrastructure for internationalization.

The CCITT recommendation for a directory standard that provides global naming to coordinate the dispersed file directories of different systems.
ITU-T Recommendation X.500 [CCI88c], which defines a directory service.
The directory services standard of International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
An ISO standard for distributed directories of objects

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard for directory services. The X.500 recommendation covers the implementation of addressing databases for devices attached to a network. See ITU and directory service.
ITU-T recomendation for Directory Services. Return
The CCITT and ISO standard for electronic directory services. See also: white pages, Knowbot, WHOIS.
A directory access protocol to enable a common standard for directories of information over a network. It has never caught on as well as its designers intended. See LDAP.
A protocol defining standards for directory services in an open network.
An overall model for distributed directory services. The model encompasses the overall namespace and the protocol for querying and updating it. The protocol is known as DAP (Directory Access Protocol).
A distributed directory interface allowing different vendors to store and access information on different systems.
The International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee standard for directory services.
A comprehensive but cumbersome directory information model. Many directories are derived from X.500 (e.g., AD) but are not fully X.500 compliant.
The CCITT now ITU recommendations (ISO9594) for the structure of directories for the maintenance of addresses used in electronic mail.
Another complex standard, this time for managing directories of people, either on the World Wide Web or on private networks.
The family of protocols that define the operation of the ITU-T/ISO directory service.
The CCITT designation for a directory standard to coordinate the dispersed file directories of different systems. ... more
X.500 is a series of computer networking standards covering electronic directory services. The X.500 series was developed by ITU-T, formerly known as CCITT. The directory services were developed in order to support the requirements of X.400 electronic mail exchange and name lookup.
