Not so much.  I don't really know how to respond to that in some sort of 
civil way except to point you to a discussion on the term:

LDAP is based on the standards contained within the X.500 
<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/X_500.html> standard, but is 
significantly simpler. And unlike X.500, LDAP supports TCP/IP 
<http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/TCP_IP.html>, which is necessary for 
any type of Internet <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/Internet.html> 
access. Because it's a simpler version of X.500, LDAP is sometimes 
called /X.500-lite.

/I also drive a light-truck (that's a pickup, I hate calling it a 
truck... anyway), to drive it I have to put gas in it.  Gas is a complex 
mixture.  That's about the same analogy you're trying to make.
