[Labs-l] Separating "content" categorizes from organizational categories

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
I am wondering. What are you querying? It it Wikidata where all the
categories of all projects are included or is it something else. Would it
make sense to have properties for the categories in Wikidata.. (easy
enough).
Thanks,
