Nathan, the Enwiki organic category system is not very good. For example, there are no consistent ontological constraints placed on the entire ontological tree (which should not be surprising because the Library of Congress Card Number system, the Dewey decimal system, the SIC ontology, and even Wordnet to some extent, are all insufficient for topic subject matter classification as specializations increase.) As ontologies go, it barely ranks in the fourth decile. Wikidata already has inherent ontology patches to the organic category system, and most if not all of them are compliant with European laws. I am going to love what happens to Wikipedia's organic categories as they meet normal forms.
Enjoy!
