Chef Moz, an offshoot of the Open Directory Project (ODP), was an open content directory of World Wide Web links of restaurants. The website was constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors, and owned by Netscape.
Chef Moz, similar to its parent ODP, used a hierarchical ontology scheme for organizing site listings. Listings on a similar topic were grouped into categories, which can then include smaller categories.
On 17 February 2011, DMOZ administrator "lisagirl" confirmed that Chef Moz was dead.[1]
Growth
From its beginning in 2000 to November of 2009 (when it became impossible for editors to log into the site), ChefMoz had grown to become the largest global directory of restaurants on the internet. The total number of restaurants indexed since 2000 is recorded in the following table:[2]
YEAR Number of Restaurants 2000 48000 2001 75000 2002 179000 2003 208000 2004 258000 2005 266000 2006 275000 2007 315000 2008 325000 References
