This figure is similar to the previous figure, dit.gif. It shows a Directory Information Tree for a company named Acme. The tree has two branches, each for an employee named Anne Smith.

The left branch represents the Anne Smith who works in sales, in the US. The other branch represents the Anne Smith who works in server development, in the UK. Both branches share a common node, called root.

• The branch on the right proceeds downward as follows: beginning from the top node, called root, to o=acme, then to c=uk, then ou=Server Development, and, finally, to cn=Anne Smith.
• The left branch proceeds similarly: from the root node to o=acme, to c=us, to ou=Sales, and, finally, to cn=Anne Smith.

In addition to this information, which it shares with the previous figure, it includes, near the tip of the right branch, a list of attributes representing the kinds of information that can be stored under that person's name, including email address, printer name, jpegPhoto, and application preferences.
