Definition: Abstract Object Class
An abstract object class is one that cannot be used directly in an entry but must be subclassed by either a structural or auxiliary class. The subclasses will inherit any required and/or optional attribute types defined by the abstract class.
One of the most notable abstract object classes defined in LDAP is the "top" object class, which is the root class for virtually all other object classes defined in the server schema.
