Hoi,
Magnus does use subcategories extensively in his tools. It is not WDQS but
it is data. Be warned, many of the "lists" and "categories" in
Wikidata are
not only this but are reused for other purposes.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hello team :)
So while I'm helping with the Wikidata -
Schema.org mappings, a request
came in to expose subcategories of an existing Wikipedia category.
For example, say I start with this topic:
https://www.wikidata.
org/wiki/Q27119725 Parking facilities
The topic's main category is shown as "Category:Parking facilities" and
that has links to Wikipedia, specifically a Wikipedia category link, and
where the WP category page has subcategories that I would like to expose
somehow in whichever way is *easiest* currently with our tools, apis, etc.
Can it all be done in SPARQL against some services that already expose WP
subcategories given a specific category ? Or is there an API that does
this already ? other tools that might expose WP categories ?
The IDEAL GOAL is to query 'equivalent class' =
schema.org/ParkingFacility
and get back the WP categories *in one shot or query or api call.*
