You can obtain them from NIST - or your domestic standards agency for those outside the US. (and a few other organisations). you'll also want to be familiar with X.501, X.511, X.519 and some others; perhaps someone could suggest a book that summarises all this information? i took a class on X.500 from a certain dan bloom from OSI migrations in DC.
