LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol which is a client-server protocol for accessing a directory service.
What Kind of information can be stored in the LDAP directory?
The LDAP information model is based on entries.
An entry is a collection of attributes that has a globally-unique Distinguished Name (DN). The DN is used to refer to the entry unambiguously. Each of the entry's attributes has a type and one or more values. The types are typically mnemonic strings, like "cn" for common name, or "mail" for email address. The syntax of values depend on the attribute type. For example, a cn attribute might contain the value Babs Jensen. A mail attribute might contain the value "babs@example.com".

How is the information arranged?
In LDAP, directory entries are arranged in a hierarchical tree-like structure. The following figure shows an example of S-Series LDAP directory tree.
