Document Summary

So, what"s a namespace: a namespace consists of, a set of defined and named keys. Testuser : the attributes associated with each of the keys. No duplicates can exist in a flat namespace. Su netid is a flat namespace: no two people have the same named key: tajorgen, sjrieks, relstad. Think of this as a text file if you want to search for it, their can only be one verison of it. Duplicates can exist at nodes in the tree, but the overall name is globally unique. Dns is an example of such a namespace: www. syr. edu www. microsoft. com help@oracle. com help@microsoft. com. If there"s one thing you should do by committee, its namespace policy creation! Based on an algorithm, generic look and feel. Name matches function smtp-host. syr. edu, help. syr. edu, clock. syr. edu: descriptive. How su names its objects in active directory: no method. Everyone picks their own, first come first serve.
