There are many such schemas out there.

As a starting point the LDAPv3 standard defines:

object class 'country':
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4519#section-3.2

object class 'organization':
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4519#section-3.8

information tree
(DIT) like defined in X.521 already failed years ago. In niche use-cases it
