You are further and further away from my original idea. Putting things into categories does not solve the problem I wanted to solve. If you add a person to tha person category, that will not make it easier to find people born in a certain year. Beside adding a page to an index, you should specify other "fields". For person: born, died, nationality, For place: country, gps, ... For event: year, place, ... Tags like below embedded in pages. The parser would put apropriate data in the "person", "writer", etc. tables (!)
On the page en.wikipedia.org/Anne_Frank for example:
Person = {Name: Anne Frank, Born: 1929, Died: 1944, Sex: female, Nationality: German....}
Writer = {Name: Anne Frank, Language: German, Duthch}
WWII_Victims = {Died: 1944}

No, I am just taking a long time in getting there :)
On the page en.wikipedia.org/Anne_Frank for example: Person = {Name: Anne Frank, Born: 1929, Died: 1944, Sex: female, Nationality: German....} Writer = {Name: Anne Frank, Language: German, Duthch} WWII_Victims = {Died: 1944}
If you take the system that I outlined last night, you would create a relation like this:
Relation:YearOfBirth Inverse:BornThisYear Domain:Person CoDomain:Year
Relation:YearOfDeath Inverse:DiedThisYear Domain:Person CoDomain:Year
And add the following to the Anne Frank page: [[YearOfBirth:1929]]
The following would be added to the 1929 page: [[BornThisYear:Anne Frank]]
For the other fields that you mention other relations could be made: Relation: Nationality Domain:Person CoDomain:Country* [[Nationality:Germany]]
(This could be done this way, or by associating a nationality with a coutry, and mapping a person to a nationality rather than a country).
I would make WWII_Victims a category, so Anne Frank is a member of Category:WWII_Victims, and if the user wants to search for Victims who died in 1944 they could search for: (People DiedThisYear 1944) (intersection) (Category:WWII_Victims)
