If i understand you correctly you want to implement a data provider for 
a ldap data source, right?
So you'll write a dbconnection, dataadapter, datareader, etc. classes 
which wrap on ldap client?
Are you also planning to use SQL as query language?

However i don't see the benefits of mapping an hierarchical structure to 
a relational one. What have you thought about that?
