<title>Sharing your Cards</title>
<para>
The <glossterm linkend="ldap">LDAP</glossterm> protocol was
created to let users share contact information over a network.
- LDAP allows for users to browse other people's addressbooks, or
- maintain a shared set of contact information for a company or
- department. This feature comes in handy if you are in a group
- where there are lots of people using the same contacts. Such an
- example would be the sales department of a company with their
- client list.
+ LDAP allows a company to maintain a shared set of contact
+ information for a company or department. Many companies keep a
+ common LDAP address book for all their employees or for client
+ contacts.

- Rich wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he
- checks the network for the Company X address card so he
- knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares
- calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has
- already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday.
- He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to
- discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids
- scheduling an extra meeting with Company X.
