The quality of ODP categories varies from first rate up-to-date topics to ones that are some years out of date. However, if I'm looking up a topic area myself then the ODP is the starting point I always use.

Remember though that the "Open" in ODP refers to the data itself - it's possible to re-use that data and do all sorts of clever stuff with it. Once you have those 4 million sites you can add to them, take sites away and do a number of other things in terms of presentation and usability.

Merging ODP data with your own database of includes and excludes ain't rocket science.. it's just odd that nobody seems to have done this yet.
