About DMOZ

DMOZ is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a passionate, global community of volunteer editors. It was historically known as the Open Directory Project (ODP).

The Republic of the Web

DMOZ provides the means for the Internet to organize itself. As the Internet grows, so does the number of net citizens. These citizens can each organize a small portion of the web and present it back to the rest of the population, culling out bad content and adding just the best content.

The Open Directory of the Web

DMOZ was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement and is the only major directory that is 100% free. There is not, nor will there ever be, a cost to submit a site to the directory, and/or to use the directory's data. Its data is made available for free to anyone who agrees to comply with our free use license.

The Distributed Directory of the Web

DMOZ is the most widely distributed database of Web content classified by humans. It serves as input to the Web's largest and most popular search engines and portals, including AOL Search, Google, Lycos, HotBot, and hundreds of others.
