	About the Open Directory Project
		The Open Directory follows in the footsteps of some of the most important editor/contributor projects of the 20th century.
		The Open Directory was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free.
		The Open Directory data is made available for free to anyone who agrees to comply with our free use license.

	Open Directory Project
		ODP data is made available for open content distribution under the terms of the Open Directory Project License which requires an advertisement for ODP on virtually every Web page that uses the data.
		Critics of ODP have questioned the propriety of ODP even having private editor forums in what is purportedly an open project, as both Go and Zeal have always allowed public access to their forum discussions.
		ODP has also inspired the formation of a number of proprietary Web directories, some of which are edited by volunteers, such as the multilingual MavicaNet[?], and others which are edited by independent contractors, such as Hotrate[?].

		ODP achieved the milestone of indexing two million URLs on August 14, 2000, and the milestone of three million listings was reached on November 18, 2001.
		Due to the popularity of the Open Directory and its resulting impact on search engine rankings, domains with lapsed registration that are listed on ODP have attracted domain hijacking, an issue that has been addressed by regularly removing expired domains from the directory.
		ODP data is made available for open content distribution under the terms of the Open Directory License, which requires a specific ODP attribution table on every Web page that uses the data.

	Shaney Crawford - Open Directory Project (ODP) and Digital Libraries
		In addition, when the directory was bought by Netscape in 1998, the name was changed to "Open Directory Project" to avoid any legal implications of using a name so obviously similar to "Yahoo".
		While the ODP is certainly a worthy and worthwhile project, there are a certain number of criticisms that must also be considered.
		Directories are not used as much as they used to be, and they are often considered only as a last resort, as a backup plan after a keyword search has failed.

	Salon Technology \| Google: We're down with ODP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Open Directory Project, the company is moving to broaden its base by introducing a hybrid search strategy -- mixing smart-missile accuracy with the ODP's massive team of human editors.
		The difference is that there are now targeted directory entries among the search results, providing both intelligible context and lateral, topic-based browsing, with your results as point of departure.
		Different "open" projects take different approaches, from the benign despotism of Linus Torvalds (who, as he puts it, personally "sprinkles holy penguin pee" over each new Linux release) to the barely moderated laissez faire of the discussion site Slashdot.

		As of Monday, December 8th, 2003, the Open Directory Project homepage claimed that their directory contained 4,008,147 websites and 533,951 categories, but it is not entirely clear how much of this data is made available to non-editors and/or ODP licensees by virtue of the ODP RDF dump.

	Traffick - Life After the Open Directory Project
		As rumors of my departure from ODP began to spread, I replied to curious inquiries with a simple confirmation that I was no longer with ODP, and that I was not at liberty to discuss the reasons or circumstances.
		Normally, when an ODP Editor is removed from ODP, his or her category request logs reflect this fact.
		ODP is not the first Open Content directory, but it is by far the most successful.

	Humans Do It Better: Inside the Open Directory Project
		Little more than two years old, the ODP is leading a resurgence of human-compiled Web directories, in the process, toppling spider-compiled search engines from their dominant positions as principal gateways to the Internet.
		The truly interesting part of the ODP story lies, not in its mechanics, but in its genesis and evolution, and the behind the scenes goings-on in the inner sanctum of the project.
		The ODP enjoys autonomy now, but it's part of a parent company that continues to grow, refine, and importantly, discard business ideas when they are no longer meaningful to the overall business model.

	Submit Corner - Guides - Search Engine Guide - Netscape Open Directory Project
		The Open Directory Project (ODP) is a search engine that was developed in 1998 by five individuals who saw the opportunity for developing a market which Yahoo failed to address, using thousands of volunteered editors to power the index.
		Since ODP is powered completely on editors who are experts in their categories, everything indexed into ODP is done by people.
		Because the ODP database is provided by volunteers on the web, submission time is quite rapid as opposed to other editor based services such as Yahoo, Looksmart or Snap.

		ODP data is made available through an RDF-like dump that is published on a dedicated download server http://rdf.dmoz.org/.
		An ODP editor has catalogued a number of bugs that are/were encountered when implementing the ODP RDF dump, including UTF-8 encoding errors (fixed since August 2004) and a RDF format that does not comply with the final RDF specification because ODP RDF generation was implemented before the RDF specification was finalized http://rainwaterreptileranch.org/steve/sw/odp/rdflist.html.

	Promotion Tip: Open Directory Project - The Most Important Directory You've Never Heard Of
		The ODP is a directory, not a search engine (learn about the difference).
		The ODP doesn't do any spidering: you have to submit to get listed unless one of the dedicated editors finds your site by accident and adds you to his or her category.
		The ODP is a critical part of the network of search engine and directory alliances.

		Most IT controls mandated by SOX are manual, error-prone and resource intensive.

	Open Directory Project
		The criteria for getting listed in the Open Directory Project (also known as DMOZ) is a little tight and many of the pages submitted are not indexed on the first try.
		The idea here is that the "We" implies that the Open Directory offers the product or service, instead of the company represented.
		Although keywords are important for search engines that use Open Directory Project listings in their search results, keywords are not that important at ODP.

	Google Introduces Web Directory Using Netscape's Open Directory Project Data
		Not yet 2 years old, the ODP has risen to become a significant player in the Web directory arena by making its data freely available to other search services.
		Google can determine importance of directory listings because it goes beyond simple analysis of titles and descriptions that constitute the core of the ODP data.
		Google has also integrated ODP data into the results of its primary search service, with links to “relevant categories” included at the top of search result pages.
