Therefore the focus in this document is on datamanagement and legal issues. Data management refers to issues that are related to inserting appropriate information into the Directory and keeping it up to date. In joining the international infrastructure an organisation has to conform to some rules for the local DIT structure as presented to the global X.500 infrastructure. Procedures have to bedeveloped for updates of the local Directory. These procedures have to include delegation of responsibilities.
Rules have to be set for access and security.
Registration implies defining a goal for the application. This has to be done for the White Pages service as well as for any deviating local application of X.500. However, the different national laws may differ with respect to legal restrictions. Among the Paradise members there are several pilots running at the moment with the goal to evaluate the organisational aspects. Case studies coming from these pilots will be documented.
