DBpedia has the category data in RDF. The last release of DBpedia also
included Wikidata - it should be possible to query the combined dataset
there.

Hi!
This is what I was thinking would have already
been integrated into
Wikidata somehow, somewhere, ideally as a SERVICE to call in SPARQL if
there were any Category Labels , maybe another serviceParam for the
label Service that could take another serviceParam to retrieve the
subcategories ?
Right now, we do not support calls out to external services, due to
security issues it may produce. However, making limited API to
specifically mediawiki API may be possible, it's actually an idea we
haven't considered before and may be possible to do.
Needs some thinking though, so don't expect it to be done by next week
:) but interesting, I'll look into it.
We probably will need to use generator since we'd need Wikidata IDs, but
something like this:
/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=pageprops&generator=categorymembers&ppprop=wikibase_item&gcmtitle=Category%3AParking&gcmprop=ids%7Ctitle&gcmtype=subcat
should work. It needs some code to be able to properly build and consume
queries, but not impossible.
