Open Directory Project and SEO

[Max]

I have developed a tool to import Open Directory Project dump on a
relational database composed by 8 tables that contains ALL the
information in the dump.
I'm not sure it can be useful for SEO.
If it could be a valued tool, i.e. to reduce bandwidth usage related to
fetching pages from Open Directory Project website (http://dmoz.org),
in a way that can reduce costs for SEO techniques that relies on ODP
for websites housed or colocated (with a storage capability of about 2
GB), I would like to receive your opinion as I'm valuating the
possibility to release such tool with a server-side presentation
script, probably based on PHP.

Sounds interesting. I would like to hear when this is done.

I would consider it definately interesting. Did you implement it in
PHP?

I have implemented it in Java and runs in non-interactive (daemon) mode
from shell command line.
