online directory

Internet-based catalog

An online directory is a website or database that organizes listings of people, businesses, or resources into searchable categories.

Yellow Pages websites, Yelp, and LinkedIn function as online directories.

The term covers everything from simple lists of local plumbers to vast databases of academic journals: I found a good mechanic through an online directory.
