<abstract>
<t>While the X.500 standards define many useful attribute typesand object classes, they do not define a person object class that meets the requirements found in today's Internet and Intranet directory service deployments.  We define a new object class called inetOrgPerson for use in LDAP and X.500 directory services that extends the X.521 standard organizationalPerson class to meet these needs.</t></abstract></front>
