Directory Components
The Schema is the collection of ObjectClasses supported by a directory server or instance
ObjectClasses describe the collection of attributes that may or must comprise an object
Attributes (such as uid, mail) contain various types of data and are subject to Syntax Rules and Attribute Matching Rules (e.g. case-insensitive matching)
OIDs (also used in SNMP) are assigned numeric representations of ObjectClasses and Attributes
