I would like to know if ODP data can be used on a commercial site and offered as a free resource with the proper attribution according to the ODP license http://dmoz.org/license.html? Further I would like to know if I use a list of URLs from an ODP category and add my own titles and descriptions is that consider using the ODP data and is a proper attribution required? Also I would like to know if one can subtract and add to the ODP data taken from a category with out keeping it in sync with the ODP data.

I was hoping someone on the forum here can explain how rdf data on dmoz eventually ends up as searchable text on the site. How does dmoz itself use the rdf data it has harvested to provide full text search. Many thanks. David

I am surprised that I couldn't find someone else that has asked this question, maybe I am confused. I thought the RDF Data was suppose to be available each week, but when I look at the data the most recent RDF is July 28. If there a problem gerenating the data? When should the next set be coming out? Thanks.

I am experimenting with the dmoz data to parse and display, based on the raw strcture and data provided by dmoz.org. Everything looks good except for World category, I am not able to find the category titles for each language, e.g. the translation of subcategory tiles like "See Also::, "Description", "FAQ" etc. They are not given in the raw data provided by dmoz.org. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks, Shri

I have a site in dmoz that got 302 hijacked last year and I think it got my site banned in google. At first I emailed them the site got stolen and filed a DMCA with them, and they complied and deleted that redirect from the db. But my site never regained from it and is obviously being filtered for some reason. So I kept writing them... and pointed out that when I go to my cat page in their directory, my site is listed at the bottom of the page with a white bar. ...now, most of you are sitting there saying, "...and? what do you want us to do about it?", right? Well, I got the strangest email back from them finally that basically just makes no sense to me and I'm hopi…

I published a site http://www.napoletanos.it and tried to suggest to dmoz many times in the category: Top: World: Italiano: Regionale: Europa: Italia: Lazio: Provincia di Roma: Località : Roma: Affari e Economia: Ristoranti e Bar but nothing happened. Probably I made some mistakes but I dont understand what ! I think the category is the right , perhaps the site has something wrong, but what wrong? Could someone help me?

Hi I had dmoz on couple websites. It was getting spidered pretty well nad everything was ok, till one day. It was showing main page, but stopped loading subpages. I didn't change anything, my admin neither. When you were trying to access the category page it was just loading it over and over. My admin said that it was creating a php loop. It stopped working simultanously on 6 pages (the same IP) We didn't change anything so I think it must be external cause. Do you think that my IP was banned for generating too much traffic? Any ideas ? Any brilliant solutions?

Hi There I work for one of the largest Christian portals on the internet, Crossmap.com. We were listed for the past 2 years in this directory: http://dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Directories/ Recently, our site was removed. After contacting one of the directory editors, we learned that our Christian directory was out of compliance with dmoz licensing guidelines. Our directory is here: http://dir.crossmap.com The editor said that in order to have our site reinstated, we must either give proper attribution or remove our directories. We have been using our own directories independently from Dmoz for about 2 years. This means that whi…

I link to dmoz from my website to categories that are relevant to the subject matter of the page. For example on a page that has content relating to arts, I link to dmoz.org/top/Arts/ As the site is heavy on text, and light on graphics, I would like to use an image of mozzie to link to the relevant categoy, in lieu of a text link. Does this violate TOS or trademark concerns? Thanks for the help

Hi All I have spent the past four weeks grappling with the huge RDF dumps and have managed to parse the ODP data, dump it into a mysql database, convert this into a decent schema and generally clean up the data. I have been working with structure.rdf because it is the smaller file of the two. Now I have the data in a database, I find there are strange characters in the World sub-categories. These are characters from different languages which mysql does not seem to understand - replacing them with ?* instead. How do I overcome this problem? Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks

I have a DMOZ site and it currently utilizes a nonfunctional search feature when search the site. When I attempt to remove the search feature the entire site shuts down and gives me an error message, asking me to request ODP to fix the matter. I will install my own search box. Lastly, I need to remove the search box from the "feed pages," not the index.html page. How do I remove the existing search and keep the site functioning is my basic question. Thank you. Sand1man
