Feeds in the ODP

kentusha · May 19, 2007

I have seen a few feeds crop up in the last year or so in the ODP, is this trend going to continue? Is there any official policy?

thanks

Do mean do we list RSS and Atom feeds etc? If they have significant unique content, yes we do.

Yes, for some time now we do list those. We supply a separate RDF file for those who want to use the data.

thanks, I didnt know that. yup looks good, you must mean rss.rdf.u8 no?

Yes, thats right.

I applaude this development and of course would like it to continue. XML offers so many advantages to html. There are so many threats to the longevity of dmoz and I reckon more xml in the directory could stave off some of these threats.

Well since you don't have to be the feed's owner to suggest that we consider it for a listing, if you know of any good feeds that are not listed, please do find a suitable category and follow the instructions from the "Suggest URL" link.

(Note that feeds only valid Atom or RSS feeds are listed: you can check them at http://feedvalidator.org/)
