a good starting point is

http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsap/Directory

which contains links to many X.500 sides. Esp. Nexor has a lot of
informations - including the standards. You'll find there a link to

http://www.nic.surfnet.nl/surfnet/projects/x500/introducing/

which seems to be a good introduction to X.500.

Bye,
Jochen.
