LDAP

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

As the name suggests LDAP is a protocol not a database. LDAP uses a backend database which is optimized for reads (such as [http://www.sleepycat.com/ ?SleepyCat Berkeley DB Database]) to hold the tree it presents. The distinction is generally not that important and this document may refer to LDAP as if it were the database and protocol both.
