ABSTRACT:
Various exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods include delta information, error information and/or state information to facilitate metadirectory administration and/or operation. An exemplary metadirectory relies on a hologram and a plurality of deltas to represent information related to an object of a directory. Such an exemplary metadirectory may represent the object in association with one or more processing states based on the hologram and one or more of the plurality of deltas. Various other exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods are also disclosed.
