        !             6: 
        !             7: The original work in INCA defined a naming architecture.
        !             8: Some of this work has been overtaken by
        !             9: standardisation activity, and other components are not relevant here.
        !            10: A few pieces are retained, as they may be of general use.
        !            11: The entire naming architecture is shown in Appendix~\ref{naming} on
        !            12: page~\pageref{naming}.

        !            16: The THORN\index{thorn} project is a significant ESPRIT project, which is implementing
        !            17: Directory services\cite{thorn}.
        !            18: THORN has defined a Naming Architecture, which includes a number of
        !            19: non-standard, but useful attributes
        !            20: \cite{thorn-na}.
        !            21: This architecture has been adopted for use in QUIPU at UCL, and for this
        !            22: reason, information in this architecture is  not duplicated here.
        !            23: The latest version of the THORN Naming Architecture (also known as the RARE
        !            24: Naming Architecture) in available 
        !            25: via FTAM from UCL (the address is given in the {\bf Preface\/} of this Manual)

        !            31: Alternatively you could Mail \verb"quipu-support" asking for the

        !            35: 
        !            36: The use of ISO 3166 codes is abhorrent, as it makes the DUA perform
        !            37: things which the DSA should do.
        !            38: Therefore a more general country attribute is introduced 
        !            39: (see Figure~\ref{country-na}).
        !            40: The intention is to use this attribute to
        !            41: permit users to search for countries based on familiar
        !            42: strings.
        !            43: 
        !            44: QUIPU supports multiple inheritance,
        !            45: so there is a need to define an QUIPU Object class, which will permit
        !            46: all of the standard QUIPU attributes to be associated with all
        !            47: objects in the QUIPU Directory, the definition can be found in
        !            48: Figure~\ref{na-summary}, in Appendix~\ref{naming}.
