Though not definitive, you might also consider David
Chadwick's "Understand X.500"
<http://www.isi.salford.ac.uk/staff/dwc/Version.Web/Contents.htm>.
It gives some rationale as to why the ITU selected the
(single) master copy scheme was for the Directory. If
you want something definitive, I suggest you read X.525 and
sections of X.501 describing the DSA Model.
