How do I write a SOQL query for data categories?

Hi Jared Owens,

Data categories are used to classify records. In SOQL, you can use the Article__DataCategorySelection or QuestionDataCategorySelection objects. You can also build a relationship query with the DataCategorySelectionsrelationship name in a FROM clause.
Imagine an Offer article type. The following query returns the ID of any categorization associated with an offer and the ID of the categorized article. 
SELECT Id,ParentId
FROM Offer__DataCategorySelection

The following example uses the DataCategorySelections relationship name to build a relationship query that returns the ID of published offers and the ID of all the categorizations associated to these offers. 
SELECT Id, Title
  (
    SELECT Id
    FROM DataCategorySelections
  )
FROM Offer__kav WHERE publishStatus='online';
