public class DITStructureRule
extends AbstractSchemaObject

A dITStructureRule definition. A dITStructureRules is a rule governing the structure of the DIT by specifying a permitted superior to subordinate entry relationship. A structure rule relates a nameForm, and therefore a STRUCTURAL objectClass, to superior dITStructureRules. This permits entries of the STRUCTURAL objectClass identified by the nameForm to exist in the DIT as subordinates to entries governed by the indicated superior dITStructureRules. Hence dITStructureRules only apply to structural object classes.

According to ldapbis [MODELS]:

  DIT structure rule descriptions are written according to the ABNF:
  
    DITStructureRuleDescription = LPAREN WSP
        ruleid                    ; rule identifier
        [ SP "NAME" SP qdescrs ]  ; short names (descriptors)
        [ SP "DESC" SP qdstring ] ; description
        [ SP "OBSOLETE" ]         ; not active
        SP "FORM" SP oid          ; NameForm
        [ SP "SUP" ruleids ]      ; superior rules
        extensions WSP RPAREN     ; extensions
 
    ruleids = ruleid / ( LPAREN WSP ruleidlist WSP RPAREN )
 
    ruleidlist = ruleid *( SP ruleid )
 
    ruleid = number
 
  where:
    [ruleid] is the rule identifier of this DIT structure rule;
    NAME [qdescrs] are short names (descriptors) identifying this DIT
        structure rule;
    DESC [qdstring] is a short descriptive string;
    OBSOLETE indicates this DIT structure rule use is not active;
    FORM is specifies the name form associated with this DIT structure
        rule;
    SUP identifies superior rules (by rule id); and
    [extensions] describe extensions.
  
  If no superior rules are identified, the DIT structure rule applies
  to an autonomous administrative point (e.g. the root vertex of the
  subtree controlled by the subschema) [X.501].
