ripe-84: RIPE NCC Funding, Appendix A changed
by Daniel Karrenberg 19 May '93

19 May '93

Appendix A of ripe-84 has been changed to reflect the current status of the funding effort. Since this does not change the content of the document itself it has not been given a new number. We realise this is not good practise. Of course the appendix should have been a seperate document. Since it isn't this is the best way to keep things up to date. Daniel

Message on evolving directory services (fwd)
by Mr P W Jones 14 May '93

14 May '93

Dear fellow RIPE-ers: This is particularly for those who had enough determiation to stay awake during my 'how can we better exploit the IP Infrastructure talk' at the last RIPE :-) The following seems to me to represent good news, in that it answers the criticisms that I made of the 'white pages' services in trying to get a unified interface to all the available data, plus other points of progress as described below. Best wishes, Phil (p.jones(a)jnt.ac.uk) Forwarded message: > From Directory-Group-administrator(a)uk.ac.jnt Tue May 11 13:37 GMT 1993 > Via: uk.ac.jnt; Tue, 11 May 93 13:37:01 GMT > Via: uk.ac.ucl.cs; Tue, 11 May 1993 14:05:51 +0100 > To: directory-group(a)uk.ac.jnt > Subject: Message on evolving directory services > Date: Tue, 11 May 93 14:05:37 +0100 > From: Paul Barker <P.Barker(a)uk.ac.ucl.cs> > Sender: Directory-Group-administrator(a)uk.ac.jnt > > Greetings, > The following message was posted to an Internet list in the last day or > so. The InterNIC have decided to try a transition strategy of WHOIS -> > X.500. Hope this is of interest. > > Paul > ========================================================== > Towards a Distributed Internet Directory Service > Srinivas R. Sataluri > sri(a)internic.net > InterNIC Directory and Database Services > Draft Dated: 10 May 1993 > > 1. Introduction > > The creation of a Directory Service involves three important steps: > (1) setting the criteria for inclusion in the Directory, (2) collection > and storage of data, and (3) keeping the data valid and up-to-date. > > We observe that a Directory that is essential to the success of a > larger business mission often tends to be up-to-date! For instance, > corporations maintain Directories based on employment status and phone > companies maintain Directories based on subscription to the phone > service. Similarly, the InterNIC Registration Services provider, based > on data supplied at the time of registration, maintains a Directory of > Points Of Contact (POCs) for various network elements crucial to the > smooth operation of the Internet. Thus to ensure currency of a > Directory, the directory service provider should maintain an on-going > contact with the listed entity/person, such as bill payment, entry > verification, etc. > > 2. Internet Directory Evolution > > When there were only a few sites on the ARPANET, SRI established a > central WHOIS Database and requested that "each individual with a > directory on an ARPANET or MILNET host, who is capable of passing > traffic across the DoD Internet, be registered in the NIC WHOIS > Database" [1]. That database now has about 140,000 individual entries > who are not POCs for any network elements crucial to the operation of > the NSFNET. More recently, NSF has asked that those individuals who are > not POCs be excluded from the WHOIS Registration database. However, > there is a wealth of information contained in this database that would > be otherwise valuable if made available to the Internet community. > > The SRI approach if applied today will result in a huge centralized > database that will grow rapidly as the number of Internet users > increases. Such a database will be expensive to maintain, difficult to > replicate, and nearly impossible to keep updated. Moreover, owing to > the large number of potential users, such a service could stress the > server and network resources thus affecting the reliability and quality > of service. > > Several years back the Internet community when faced with a similar but > smaller problem, discarded the centrally maintained "hosts.txt" file in > favor of the distributed Domain Name Server solution. We feel that it > is time to discard the centralized WHOIS directory and create a > Distributed Internet Directory. > > A distributed directory service will allow the data to be moved closer > to the "owner," which in turn increases the likelihood that the > currency and privacy of the data is maintained. Further, replication > will improve performance and reliability. A method of organizing and > managing a Distributed Internet Directory is to allow > organizations/persons responsible for the data to maintain it. > > In addition, to enable people on the Internet to obtain information > about key individuals and to help stay in contact, it is possible, and > may be useful to maintain special secondary directories, such as a list > of authors of RFCs, a list of authors of Internet Standards Documents, > a list of individuals that attended IETF meetings, etc. Such lists can > be created with some diligent effort but are even harder to maintain as > personnel information and organizational affiliation are bound to > change with time. > > 3. Possible Solutions > > Several informal attempts have been made to build an Internet users > list. MIT runs a mailserver (mail-server(a)pit-manager.mit.edu) that > responds to usenet address requests. This database is organized by > collecting information from the electronic mail headers in netnews > postings. There is limited information available on each person - for > instance, the email address. Netfind uses a similar approach but > potentially has a larger name space as it only captures the domain > names from netnews postings and in real-time tries WHOIS and/or finger > queries to obtain information about individuals. In both these cases, > there are no efforts to verify and maintain the accuracy of the > information. There is also no way for individuals to ask to be included > in these directories. > > Several organizations run WHOIS servers and make personnel information > available for Internet access. However, the WHOIS servers are not > interconnected and one has to connect to the WHOIS server that has the > data being sought. To simplify this problem, a list of WHOIS servers > has been assembled by Matt Power of MIT. Gopher gateways into WHOIS > servers have also come up, e.g. University of Minnesota runs a Gopher > server that has a list of 91 WHOIS servers. > > WHOIS++ extends the original WHOIS data model and query protocol and > proposes an extensible, distributed indexing service geared towards > interlinking enhanced WHOIS servers and in developing efficient search > paradigms thus creating a simple distributed directory service. The > WHOIS++ model is under development and it may take some time before > robust implementations are available. > > Of the technologies available today for creating an extensible, > replicated, distributed directory service, X.500 is the most mature. It > requires a hierarchical organization of data and permits a distributed > search based on several attributes. Special purpose/secondary > directories can be easily built by use of alias pointers. Moreover, > attempts are now underway for creating a light-weight directory access > protocol that will enable even personal computers to access the > Directory. > > The Internet community is well aware that no single directory > technology can solve all the needs of the community and clearly X.500 > is not the last word in directory technologies. Several alternate > methods of realizing directories - CSO servers, WAIS based directory > services, WHOIS and WHOIS++ servers - are already in use today. The > Internet community is now concentrating on building gateways between > the different directory systems and information access technologies > rather than converting from one technology to an other. This trend is > bound to continue and mature. Tim Howes of University of Michigan built > a successful Gopher gateway into the X.500 Directory [5]. The Gopher to > X.500 gateway at the University of Michigan currently handles over 5000 > connections per day. Mark Prior of The University of Adelaide, > Australia is building a WHOIS++ to X.500 gateway. > > The Internet community may eventually adopt a Directory system other > than X.500. In that event, the effort involved in creating a X.500 > Directory will not be wasted since other directory systems will be able > to access the X.500 DIT through gateways. > > 4. X.500 Based Solution > > X.500 is designed to build a distributed, global directory service > [4]. It allows organizations to run and maintain their own directory > service while providing a seamless interconnection of different > directory servers. Its main advantage is an extensible hierarchical > namespace called a DIT (Directory Information Tree) eminently suited > for organizing white pages directory information where each entry has a > unique global name. > > PSI is running a X.500 White Pages Pilot Project for the United States > that connects to several International pilots via the European PARADISE > project. The world-wide X.500 Directory is distributed over nearly 500 > DSAs (Directory System Agents) that hold data of about 2800 > organizations. These organizations make their personnel data accessible > to the Internet users. > > All the X.500 Directory pilots structure the personnel information > under organizations placed appropriately in the DIT. The NADF (North > American Directory Forum) - a group of public directory service > providers - is proposing a namespace based on the existing civil naming > infrastructure in Canada and the United States [3]. A NADF pilot is > underway but it is too early to use the NADF structure for implementing > the Distributed Internet Directory. > > As proposed in [2] we envision a distributed Internet Directory where > larger organizations maintain their part of the DIT on their own DSA > (Directory System Agent) and smaller organizations will obtain DSA > space from regional networks or other service providers. Together these > DSAs will form the Internet Directory Service Infrastructure. > > AT&T InterNIC Directory and Database Services will help achieve this > goal through the following action plan: > > * We have already started two X.500 DSAs (a master and a slave) > and joined the PSI White Pages Project. > * We have listed the InterNIC personnel in our DSA. > * We are running a public access DUA and a mailserver that can > search the world-wide X.500 Directory that now has more than a > million entries. > * We are providing technical advice and support to people who > contact us and are interested in Directory Services. > * We are creating a simplified list of instructions to help > organizations bring up their own DSAs. > * We are in the process of creating a starter-kit for > organizations that join the X.500 Directory. > * We are committed to participation in Directory related > educational and outreach activities sponsored by the InterNIC > Information Services provider. > > To expedite the creation of the Distributed Internet Directory, we will > maintain entries of interested organizations in our DSAs. The following > policy will apply to the organizational entries we maintain. > > * Each organization will be allowed a maximum of fifty (50) > directory entries that include one organizational entry, and any > combination of organizational unit or person entries. The > organizational unit and individual entries can be submitted any time > after the organization entry is submitted. > > * Departments and Units of registered/well-known organizations, > however large they may be, do not qualify for an independent > listing. Examples: (1) Department of Computer Science of the > University of Iowa will only be listed under the University entry. > (2) AT&T Data Communication Services does not qualify for a listing. > They can be listed as an organizational unit under the AT&T > organization listing. However, independent organizations such as > college campuses (University of California at Berkeley, State > University of New York at StonyBrook), and subsidiaries of large > corporations (NCR) do qualify for independent listings. > > We reserve the right to change the maximum number of entries allowed > for an organization at any time in the future, in concurrence with the > NSF and other forums suggested by the NSF. Interested organizations > should complete a template - file: > /ftp/pub/internic-info/organization-x500.template available for > anonymous FTP on ds.internic.net - and send the completed form to > request(a)ds.internic.net. > > 5. Transitioning the non-POC Entries in the WHOIS Database > > The WHOIS database maintained by the DDN NIC has valuable information > about individuals active on the Internet. Hence, we propose the > following migration path for the entries in the WHOIS database to the > Distributed Internet Directory. > > * As a temporary measure, we will store the applicable listings > from the nearly 160,000 entries contained in the WHOIS database on > our server through WAIS. No new entries or updates to this data will > be accepted. However, deletion of entries will be permitted. > > We can provide this service within two weeks of obtaining the data. > > * We will contact and encourage organizations whose members are > in the WHOIS database to start their own Directory and list the > appropriate individuals or complete our template and use our facility > to list up to 50 entries. As new organizational listings (DSAs) are > created, the corresponding organizational and personnel listings in > the WHOIS database will be retired. > > This is an ongoing process that involves persuasion, sifting through > the WHOIS database to identify candidate listings, and contacting the > affected individuals. But it is a worthwhile effort since it will > eventually lead to the creation of a fully distributed Directory that > is also accurate. > > * We expect that in due course (2 to 3 years), the WHOIS database > will shrink and many new organizations will join the Distributed > Internet Directory, at which time we can shut down the WHOIS > database. We will attempt to transition every WHOIS entry into the > Distributed Internet Directory. > > A smooth transition consistent with the plan proposed above will > require a dedicated effort from the InterNIC providers, the support of > the NSF, and the cooperation of the Internet community - especially > individuals and organizations listed in the WHOIS Directory. > > * We will develop a user agent that will support the WHOIS > protocol that can search both the WHOIS database and the X.500 > Directory thus providing a uniform user-interface to the evolving > Directory. > > This can be completed within one month after receiving the data. > > REFERENCES > > [1] Harrenstien, K., V.
