> Key: DIRSERVER-1004

> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: schema
> Reporter: Alex Karasulu
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0

>
> There is no real data type syntax in LDAP. Nor are there matchingRules for
> attributes with this
> syntax. ASN.1 defines an encoding for REAL data types here:
> http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/X.690-0207.pdf
> Would really be nice to devise a simple encoding for the base, and mantissa
> of REAL values
> to be able to track them without rounding errors due to their persistence in
> the directory.
> There's been a lot of conversation about this topic but no one has actually
> stepped up
> and done it. Here's some links to these convos:
> http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200103/msg00065.html
>
> Does anyone think they can take a stab at writing an LDAP syntax description
> for REAL numbers
> and providing the required SyntaxChecker and matchingRules for it as well?
