This indicates the Standard inetorgperson schema under the standard ou=schema.
This also shows the cn=institutesinetorgperson schema which is the custom schema

> Disclaimer: I am new to the world of LDAP authentication and am learning as I go. 
> I am in need of a custom object class where I can add custom attributes that is not available with inetorgperson. The current situation is that I think I have created a custom schema with the object class I need, but, I am still unable to choose this custom object class when I am creating a new entry.
> After a lot of trying and retrying, reading through multiple sites and suggestions, I finally created a new schema that looks very much like inetorgperson. I arrived here by following the steps below:
> 1) In my LDAP Browser, under ou=schema, I navigate to cn=inetorgperson
> 2) Right click on it -> Export -> LDIF Export.
> 3) I use this as the template and change all occurrences of "inetorgperson" to my custom name.
> 4) Towards the end of the LDIF file,  I changed the m-supObjectClass to point to inetorgperson
> 5) I then modify the LDIF file to add the custom attributes.
> 6) I then import this modified LDIF file.
> 7) I can now see my cn=instinetorgperson  right under the cn=inetorgperson.
> The attributes seems to be similar.
> But, I am still unable to choose this custom object class when I am creating a new entry.
> What other information would you need to help me out here.
> Thanks in advance
