OID value: 1.2.840.10003
OID description:
This standard specifies a client/server based protocol for Information
Retrieval. It specifies procedures and structures for a client to search a
database provided by a server, retrieve database records identified by a
search, scan a term list, and sort a result set. Access control, resource
control, extended services, and a "help" facility are also supported. The
protocol addresses communication between corresponding information retrieval
applications, the client and server (which may reside on different
computers); it does not address interaction between the client and the end-
user.
