according to my private documentation, slapd has to be build with
-DLDAP_COLLECTIVE_ATTRIBUTES, this information might be outdated.

This is a sample ldif:
dn: cn=office,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: subentry
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: collectiveAttributeSubentry
cn: office
subtreeSpecification: {base "ou=Human Resources" minimum 2}
c-l: Berlin
c-street: Main Street
