There are lots of ways to do this...
1. Use CORBA, as long as DIIOP is enabled on the server. Direct access
to
Notes databases, including names.nsf, via the Domino Object Model
(DOM).
2. Use LDAP. Also works in the situation where the directory
information is
decentralized--that is, where the Domino server may itself be using
LDAP
via the Directory Assistance facility to look up the information
from some
other server. Only works for names and addresses, of course.
3. Use XML. Export DXL (Domino XML) from a view in the database via
HTTP,
then parse it.
4. Use the Notes C API. Never used it directly myself, but I believe it
still
exists.

For this purpose, I suppose only Lotus Libs are the way of choice.
Actually, any of the above will work, except method 2.
For access to a strictly local address book or database, your options
are a lot more limited. I think the C API would be the only reliable
way to go, in fact.
