TL;DR: In this article, a cross-referencing resource, which may take the form of an independent HTTP server, an LDAP directory server or the existing Internet Domain Name Service (DNS), receives Internet request messages containing all or part of a universal product code and returns the Internet address at which information about the identified product, or the manufacturer of that product, may be obtained.
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for disseminating over the Internet product information produced and maintained by product manufacturers using existing universal product codes (bar codes) as access keys A cross-referencing resource, which may take the form of an independent HTTP server, an LDAP directory server, or the existing Internet Domain Name Service (DNS), receives Internet request messages containing all or part of a universal product code and returns the Internet address at which information about the identified product, or the manufacturer of that product, may be obtained By using preferred Web data storage formats which conform to XML, XLS, XLink, Xpointer and RDF specifications, product information may be seamlessly integrated with information from other sources A “web register” module can be employed to provide an Internet interface between a shared sales Internet server and an otherwise conventional inventory control system, and operates in conjunction with the cross-referencing server to provide detailed product information to Internet shoppers who may purchase goods from existing stores via the Internet

TL;DR: The protocol elements, along with their semantics and encodings, of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which provides access to distributed directory services that act in accordance with X.500 data and service models are described.
Abstract: This document describes the protocol elements, along with their
semantics and encodings, of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP). LDAP provides access to distributed directory services that
act in accordance with X.500 data and service models. These protocol
elements are based on those described in the X.500 Directory Access
Protocol (DAP). [STANDARDS-TRACK]

TL;DR: This document defines the string representation used in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to transfer distinguished names.
Abstract: The X.500 Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to
entries in the directory. Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1 in
the X.500 Directory protocols. In the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol, a string representation of distinguished names is
transferred. This specification defines the string format for
representing names, which is designed to give a clean representation
of commonly used distinguished names, while being able to represent
any distinguished name.

TL;DR: This document defines a human- readable string representation of LDAP search filters that is appropriate for use in LDAP URLs (RFC 4516) and in other applications.
Abstract: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) search filters are
transmitted in the LDAP protocol using a binary representation that is
appropriate for use on the network. This document defines a human-
readable string representation of LDAP search filters that is
appropriate for use in LDAP URLs (RFC 4516) and in other applications.

TL;DR: This document describes a format for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that describes an LDAP search operation that is used to retrieve information from anLDAP directory.
Abstract: This document describes a format for a Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) Uniform Resource Locator (URL). An LDAP URL describes
an LDAP search operation that is used to retrieve information from an
LDAP directory, or, in the context of an LDAP referral or reference,
an LDAP URL describes a service where an LDAP operation may be
progressed. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
