Topic: Open Directory Project


  
 Open Directory Project - definition of Open Directory Project in Encyclopedia
An ODP editor has catalogued a number of bugs that are/were encountered when implementing the ODP RDF dump, including UTF-8 encoding errors (fixed since August 2004) and a RDF format that does not comply with the final RDF specification because ODP RDF generation was implemented before the RDF specification was finalized [7] (http://rainwaterreptileranch.org/steve/sw/odp/rdflist.html).
The ODP Editor Forums were originally run on software that was based on the proprietary Ultimate Bulletin Board system.
The Gnuhoo directory went live on June 5, 1998, and was renamed Newhoo after a Slashdot article was posted in which posters claimed that Gnuhoo had nothing in common with the spirit of free software for which the GNU project was known and was simply a commercial enterprise seeking to construct an alternative to Yahoo!

 Shaney Crawford - Open Directory Project (ODP) and Digital Libraries
While the ODP is certainly a worthy and worthwhile project, there are a certain number of criticisms that must also be considered.
Two solutions dominated the search algorithms: robots and directories.
In the late 1990s, the internet became so large, it was necessary to create a way to make searching it less daunting a task.

 Salon Technology Google: We're down with ODP
Google's latest initiative is the integration of its own search technology with the Open Directory Project, the Web's largest human-edited directory.
The premise is familiar to anyone who has followed the phenomenal rise of the Linux operating system: A highly motivated, globally distributed community of contributors, each with particular talents and expertise, can out-code and out-debug any corporate engineering team on Earth.
And if that's true of software, where "Does it work?" provides an unbending benchmark, it's doubly true of the Open Directory's attempt to map and rank the online universe.

 Humans Do It Better: Inside the Open Directory Project
Little more than two years old, the ODP is leading a resurgence of human-compiled Web directories, in the process, toppling spider-compiled search engines from their dominant positions as principal gateways to the Internet.
The ODP has succeeded by coupling a simple, yet elegant, Web directory to the engine of a grassroots marketing campaign that has won the hearts and captured the minds of millions of Web users.
Taking yet another lesson from the open source movement, the ODP made its most important strategic move: The directory data would be freely available to all takers.

 Open Directory Project
Although keywords are important for search engines that use Open Directory Project listings in their search results, keywords are not that important at ODP.
More and more, search engines like Netscape, Lycos, HotBot, AOL and others are using ODP or some variation of it to add to their search results.
More importantly, getting listed in ODP will also help you a great deal at the Google search engine, because Google uses ODP listings in its criteria for Page Ranking and link-popularity.

 Google Introduces Web Directory Using Netscape's Open Directory Project Data
First, directory search results are ranked according to Google’s proprietary PageRank relevance system.
Google can determine importance of directory listings because it goes beyond simple analysis of titles and descriptions that constitute the core of the ODP data.
The Google directory uses its patent-pending PageRank technology to list search results by relevance and quality of content, rather than the ODP’s default alphabetical ordering.
