I guess the word 'View' is what I'm looking for.

And when I think about it LDAP queries are also just a kind of view. 
So Categories, Filters and LDAP queries could all be considered 
Views.

I hope the LDAP API can be used to implement my efficient API (which 
just requires getting the count of items that match a query and 
getting element i when sorting by field x). That would provide a nice 
efficient generalization for LDAP queries also.

Don.
