I would love to try writing rules to make explicit some of the structure implicit in DMoz's hierarchy, ie. express as RDF properties the things that underpin something's place in the tree. Eg. a section homepages-of-popstars, hypothetically, might have 1000 pages listed. For each of those, it is implied (we might argue) that there exists a popstar, and the popstar has a foaf:homepage relation to that page. Same for restaurant reviews etc. Geographic facets would be a good thing to mine. This would show a path to get from the document-centric world of DMoz into the more world-centric world of RDF and ontologies... Dan
