Thank you Mark,

I was indeed looking for the tables to construct that structure.
You also confirm categorylinks and categorypages are enough?

you said "directed", hence there should some hierarchy in it too.'

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but the hierarchy is based on the relation between a category and its subcategories.
In more technical terms, in the directed graph of categories, edges are from a category to its subcategories.
 
I read there are 50K+ categories, maybe is there any list of "directions" aka "links" of how categories are connected?

Actually, there seem to be 1M+ categories (though not all of them are normal article categories). And category-subcategory links is exactly what the categorylinks dump contains, along with category-page links.
