AI overview
DMOZ was a free, volunteer-maintained web directory that organized links to websites into categories, much like a library catalog for the internet. Though owned by AOL, it was built and kept up-to-date by a community of unpaid editors who believed in making web information openly accessible to everyone.

DMOZ or DMoz (stylized dmoz in its logo; from directory.mozilla.org, an earlier domain name) was a multilingual open-content directory of World Wide Web links. The site and community who maintained it were also known as the Open Directory Project (ODP). It was owned by AOL (now a part of Yahoo! Inc) but constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors.
DMOZ used a hierarchical ontology scheme for organizing site listings. Listings on a similar topic were grouped into categories which then included smaller categories.
