Open Directory Project (ODP), the largest human-edited Web directory, is maintained entirely by volunteer editors. Editors are responsible for selecting, organizing, updating, and annotating the links in their own category. (Are you an expert on a subject? Consider signing up to help!) Unlike some other directories, ODP never charges to list URLs, but the quality of different categories can be inconsistent. Several major search engines use ODP data to power their own directories.EG: Google
Now let us now bit of Internet Directories : Internet directories use human reviewers to organize Web sites into categories that let visitors drill down from broad to very specific topics. Forexample, let’s say you wanted to use Yahoo!, the best-known Internet directory, to get a list of sites that provide information on the federal minimum-wage law. You could drill down through the categories as follows: Business and Economy: Employment and Work: Employment and Workplace Issues: Minimum Wage. Directories usually aim to provide just the “best” sites in each category, rather than creating a comprehensive index of as many Web sites as possible.
