Title : Composite Objects for the Directory

Composite Objects for the Directory (COD) describes an abstraction
layer above the schema, content, and structure facilities of the
Directory. COD enables the construction of reusable information com-
ponents from schema primitives. These components include composite
objects, type-signed object references, graphs of object hierarchies,
and object-oriented relationships among Directory objects.
COD also provides a repository of templates, or prototypes of the
information components. This repository captures component design
information which cannot be expressed in the Directory schema. This
repository allows the design of the components to be unequivocably
described and reused both within and beyond the immediate Directory
instance.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
