\chapter	{Attributes for Persons in the Pilot Project}%
		\label{person:attributes}
Here is the list of the attributes which may be present for a person
represented in the NYSERNet White Pages Pilot Project.

There are two mandatory attributes:
\begin{describe}
\item[commonName:]
			which gives a (potentially ambiguous) name for
			the person.
			The value of this attribute is a string usually
			containing the person's first and last names; e.g.,
\begin{quote}\small\begin{verbatim}
Marshall Rose
\end{verbatim}\end{quote}
			This attribute is usually multi-valued, containing
			variations on the first, middle, and last names; e.g.,
\begin{quote}\small\begin{verbatim}
Colin Robbins
Colin John Robbins
Colin J. Robbins
\end{verbatim}\end{quote}
			For purposes of the pilot project, the distinguished
			value of the attribute should contain only the
			person's first and last names.

\item[surName:]
			which gives the person's last name.
			The value of this attribute is a string; e.g.,
\begin{quote}\small\begin{verbatim}

\end{verbatim}\end{quote}
\end{describe}
There are several attributes that may be present,
which are divided into five groups:

computer environment,
miscellaneous information,
and home information.

The first group describes the physical address of the object:

			object.
			The syntax of this attribute's value is special:
			it consists of~1 to~6 fields, seperated by the
			``\verb"$"''-sign, each field being from~1 to~30
			characters long; e.g.
\begin{quote}\small\begin{verbatim}
NYSERNet Inc. $ 165 Jordan Road $ Troy, NY 12180
\end{verbatim}\end{quote}

\item[registeredAddress:]
			which defines how registered physical mail is
			addressed to the object.
			The syntax is identical to that of the
			\verb"postalAddress" attribute.
