Line 27:

''LDAP directory entries feature a hierarchical structure that reflects political, geographic, and/or organizational boundaries. In the original X.500 model, entries representing countries appear at the top of the tree; below them come entries representing states or national organizations. Typical LDAP deployments use DNS names for structuring the top levels of the hierarchy. Further below might appear entries representing people, organizational units, printers, documents, or just about anything else.''

Yes, definitely LDAP is hierarchical. So is DNS. In fact, DNS, LDAP, and common filesystems are by far the most widely used hierarchical databases. The topic's claim that IMS and Windows Registry are the most common is laughable.
