If you want to look suave when discussing new videoconferencing technology, throw in a phrase like, "We will have to make sure we're up to H.350 standards with out next system" at the next board of staff meeting. What will you have just said? You will have said that you want a system that uses the new IEEE specification for storing IP video and audio contact information in a central directory. This is not a communications protocol (like, say, H.323) but rather "a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) schema that standardizes the way endpoint information such as IP address, H.323 ID aliases and associated gatekeeper domain name (such as an H.323 or SIP-based device) is stored in and retrieved from a central database." So when someone asks you, "What is H.350," you can just reply, with a toss of your head, "Oh, it's just an LDAP schema for accessing contact info." Looking like a tech guru has never been so easy.
