Hello,

Currently, wikipedia's categories seems to be a flat categories system - no fixed common categories naming & inter relationship,

let me give an exampe,

consider you have to implement a function, on the wikipedia's data

// returns all places name (direct or indirect) under the place

Place[] function getAllPlaceName(Place) {

}

The expetced outcome would be,

['Manhattan', 'Brooklyn', ....] = getAllPlaceName("New_York_City");

['Manhattan', 'Brooklyn', 'New_York_City', 'New_Jersey', ....] = getAllPlaceName("USA");

how would you implement the function?

hints: this should also work with other countries & languages.

after spending a few hours, my outcome is that is it not possible for a truely automated solution!

Wikipedia Categories have no semantic relationship...
