DMoz categories as LOD ?

Hi,

one of the things we are doing categorization into DMoz hierarchy.
However while it was easy to create sameAs links for recognized entities
to dbPedia&others, I was dazzled by the lack of DMoz URIs where RDF data
would reside that would represent the categories and their
relationships.

So what we did in API responses was to create a dummy non-dereferencable
URI and quickly described basic properties.
 
<rdf:Description
rdf:about="http://d.zemanta.com/cats/dmoz/Top/Computers/Security">
<rdf:type rdf:resource="http://s.zemanta.com/ns#Target"/>
<z:targetType rdf:resource="http://s.zemanta.com/targets#category"/>
<z:title>Top/Computers/Security</z:title>
<z:categorization rdf:resource="http://s.zemanta.com/cat/dmoz"/>
</rdf:Description>

However this is naturally sub-optimal, and non-LOD compatible. It does
not allow developers to walk the hierarchy and similar. 

As we are not trying to be the center of the universe and thus gladly
link to LOD resources as first-class citizens, I am wondering if there
might be a better solution. 

So my question is: does anyone know about dereferencable-uris version of
DMoz data that could be used in API responses to denote specific
categories?



(and thanks to Kingsley Idehen for reminding me this is probably the
right list to ask this question)
