Can someone be listed to two separate categories in ODP? The person at the top of one of my search terms is listed in different categories. I don't really see why not...
Double ODP Listing?

Sometimes, but, in general, it would be wrong for you to suggest a site to more than one category. (There are exceptions; the most common is a site may be listed in a topical category (other than Regional) and in Regional for each language the site has unique content in.

Well - it wasn't me. I'm still waiting to be listed. But saw someone for modeling AND an architectural renderings category.
I should add that editors may decide that a site fits in two or more unrelated categories; just that sites should only be suggested to the one, best category (with the exception above, and maybe one or two others, as specified in the documentation.)
If you feel a site is listed in two (or more) related categories, or if a site doesn't fit the category it's listed in, you may use the "Update Listing" button in that category or use the [thread=5453] Report Hijacks, Dead Links, Inappropriate ODP Content, and other issues here ONLY[/thread] in the Quality Control forum.

I see what you are saying. But could I submit my work - let's say 3d stuff to the following examples:
1) A Massachusetts business category
2) a 3D art category
3) a 3D gallery category
4) an architectural rendering category
5) a 3D modeling category
These are all valid descriptors of my work and are equal weight in a sense. I'm not trying to be deceitful - that's why I am asking here.

It would be ok to submit to [1] plus the best one of [2-5]. Leave it to an editor as to whether additional listings are ok (you might make a polite suggestion in your second submission) and let the editor add them. Making 5 submissions to five categoires would be spamming.
Yes -- although there has been some discussion of whether topix is a good example.WRMineo said:
(Note: I'm not revealing internal forum information -- I was one of the editors questioning whether the topix deeplinks should have been added.)

I was using that one as an example of what currently exists in the OPD without an implied agreement on my part or quality of an example on DMOZ's
- but thanks.
