RDF Data
RDF dumps of the DMOZ database are available for download.
Note that these files can be quite large. Your browser may have difficulty downloading them: It may try and fail to uncompress or interpret them it for you. You can be reasonably confident that any downloading problem is not on this end.
Changes to the format of the RDF files are documented here.
For reference, refer to the Resource Description Framework (RDF) specification from W3C.
If you have questions about downloading the data, visit the FAQ in the help area, and the resources listed under Use of DMOZ Data.
