The syntax and meanings of attributes (fields) of RIPE Whois object can be found in the RIPE DB Reference Manual: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/databaseref-manual.html You must be able to figure out a (close) mapping if a similar document exists for ARIN DB as well. > well, we bit the bullet and spent today writing an rpsl-to-arin > conversion program. works rather well except for orgid: and parent: > fields. obviously, orgid:, we will have a create our own. > > i do have a question concerning parent:. > > i am do not have an indepth knowledge of rpsl, so please bare with the > question. > > does rpsl have a concept of parent? > if rpsl does have a concept of parent would someone direct me to the > document/documents which explain it? 'parent' information is not buried in other objects in RIPE Whois Database (unlike ARIN DB). You need to perform queries to find the parents/children of an object. The relevant query flags are -l, -L, -m, -M. See http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/databaseref-manual.html#2.2 for IP Address Lookups in RIPE DB. A parent is sometimes called 'one level less specific inetnum' in RIPE DB. > > thank you all for your answers. > > -- > terry l. ridder ><> -- Engin Gunduz RIPE NCC Software Engineering Department
