Open Directory Project

Also known as dmoz.org, ODP, Mozilla Directory, GNUHoo, directory.mozilla, NewHoo, Netscape Open Directory

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.

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.

Het Open Directory Project (ODP), ook bekend als DMOZ (naar de eerdere domeinnaam directory.mozilla.org), is een in 1998 opgerichte, voormalige webindex met links naar websites. ODP was eigendom van AOL maar werd opgebouwd en onderhouden door een groep vrijwillige redacteuren. In april 2004 bevatte de index meer dan 4,5 miljoen websites, ingedeeld in 590.000 categorieën. Er waren ongeveer 10.000 redacteuren actief voor 73 verschillende talen. Het ODP was volledig gratis. Toevoegen van een nieuwe website of gebruik van de gegevens kostte niets, zolang de licentie gerespecteerd werd.
