As you all know, DMOZ closed last month. And I want a copy of the DMOZ data before it closed. I searched DMOZ.org for the latest dump of the data but all it shows up is the "We're closed" page.

Where could I get the latest dump before it closed?

I'm creating a successor to DMOZ so I need this data.

Also, is the content from this site, dmoztools.net, using the latest data dump or does it contain updates after the latest dump? Also, does dmoztools.net contain anything besides the latest dump?

I have heard that some people scraped the data before DMOZ shut down: seobook.com/dmoz-shut-down

So I'm unsure whether the scraped data is more up-to-date than the RDF data dump.

I've also heard that the links submissions on the old DMOZ that were not yet approved will be passed on the new official successor to be approved? Is it true? If it's true then that's data that is not available to me.

In this thread you can find a link to a copy of the last rdf

Yes. But please do not scrape that website.

No, it is just a copy based on the last dump.

probably the dump is more up-to-date as it was created just before shutting down

It is our (the editor community) intention to start a new directory based on the old DMOZ data, including all suggestions that were not approved yet.
So, yes it is true.
> If it's true then that's data that is not available to me.
Correct, that data is not available to you

The link in that thread is to curlz.org/dmoz_rdf/ -- which is no longer a valid domain
AND archive.org does not archive the data files
SO any other suggestions for data dumps ??

I have been using minimoz to add dmoz links as added information for some of my web sites
and missed the closing to grab the last data dump

Someone please help -- I will also host those dumps if that is helpful to the project.

The data files are intact at archive.org ( content, structure, categories)...

Hello everyone,

Both the links in dmoztool and the mirror link in curlz_org does not work for me. Where can I find the lastest structure.rdf.u8.gz? Could anyone help with this?

Best wishes
Clement

See the link in post # 5, it is working

We do not have any connection with curlz.org and how it is working.

Dmoztools is only a static copy of the directory listings and not the whole old dmoz site.
