As far as I could see - I haven't experimented with it much -
phpLDAPadmin creates half-a-dozen top-level entries,
and if you try to create an entry under any of them
you have to choose one of a number of offered schemas.
That is what I meant by a "standard" schema.

I do find the language of LDAP unattractive.
Assuming the idea is to create a tree-like structure
(like the Unix file-system)
the way of expressing it seems strange.
But I'm getting the book by Gerald Carter you mention,
and maybe that will change my mind.
