Where to get a list of categories of DMOZ/YAHOO

List of categories of DMOZ/YAHOO

[john22]

Anyone know where I can obtain a complete list of DMOZ categories preferably in the format of

[dmoz.org...]
[dmoz.org...]
etc.

Cheers!

You can download DMOZ hierarchy information [rdf.dmoz.org] and then write your own little script to compile the links.

You could get software to crawl each site and return a tree, like a site map generator. That's probably less effective than running a script against the category structure RDF because there are numerous crosslinks (say, Arts/Libraries@ which points to Reference/Libraries) and in the course of hundreds of thousands of categories it could choke.

Hey

Thanx for your replies - i was hoping more for "heres one we made earlier"....

But ok if not, how do I write a script or any good places to start me off.

There is probably a file with category-only information at: rdf.dmoz.org/rdf/ if that helps.

The category count is now nearly half a million cateogries. Not really parsable by hand any more.

[totalXSive]

[dmoz.org...] has 25 entries for sites which let you do things with the RDF dump.
