Developing Naming Standards
Part of the process of developing the Directory tree maps is to determine
names of objects. If there are standards in place for using NDS, then users
can more fully navigate, use, and exploit the Directory tree.
Searching and browsing rely heavily on the ability to do a lookup in the
Directory based on criteria from the user. If object names follow a standard,
then searching is simpler.
For example, if all laser printers are named “LJuniquename,” where
uniquename is more descriptive, then a search for all printers named “LJ*”
is feasible.
See Appendix C “NDS Object Classes and Properties” for more
information.
