ABSTRACT:
A method for representing in a database selective objects and data in a distributed directory is disclosed. A distributed directory is accessed. The directory is searched for selective objects and selective associated attributes that satisfy predetermined criteria. One or more records are created to correspond to each selective object satisfying the criteria. Data relating to each selective object is entered into the corresponding record. The records and data are then stored in a database. Preferably, the database is a hierarchal database having sub-records, wherein each sub-record corresponds to a selective associated attribute of the selective object.
