PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
IT/1 on Information Systems— Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 9594-6:1995, Information technology— Open Systems Interconnection— The Directory:
Selected attribute types. This edition will be concurrent with AS 4019.6— 1992, Information
technology — Open Systems Interconnection — The Directory, Part 6: Selected attribute types.
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of information technology with a definition of a
number of attribute types and matching rules which may be found useful across a range of
applications of the Directory.
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are
currently under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor
difficulties encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be

providing, through the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information
concerning difficulties which are identified in using this Standard.
This edition technically revises and enhances AS 4019.6. Implementation may still claim
conformance to AS 4019.6. However, at some point, AS 4019 will no longer be supported. It is
recommended that implementation conform to AS/NZS 4019.6:1996 as soon as possible.

Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangements made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the
number of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and
title pages.
For the purpose of this Standard, the source text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words
‘this International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.
(c) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where
appropriate, to the following Australian or Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards:

SECTION 1 – GENERAL
1 Scope
This Recommendation International Standard defines a number of attribute types and matching rules which may be
found useful across a range of applications of the Directory.
Attribute types and matching rules fall into three categories, as described below.
This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.
Some attribute types and matching rules are used by a wide variety of applications or are understood and/or used by
the Directory itself.
NOTE – It is recommended that an attribute type or matching rule defined in this document be used, in preference to the
generation of a new one, whenever it is appropriate for the application.
Some attribute types and matching rules are internationally standardized, but are application-specific. These are defined
in the standards associated with the application concerned.
Any administrative authority can define its own attribute types and matching rules for any purpose. These are not
internationally standardized, and are available to others beyond the administrative authority which created them only by
bilateral agreement.
