WikiCategories (a new way to work with Wikipedia categories)

It is a program that allows, using set theory, to work with the different categories of voices on Wikipedia, for example adding them up to each other and finding out which pages two or more categories do have in common.

For instance, if I'm looking for an actor born in 1975, I will have nothing to do but join the category Actors to the one People born in 1975, and find out which pages these categories have in common.

It may be objected that in some languages there is already the category Actors born in 1975: but the point is precisely to create a multilingual platform, from which each user could draw all pages and informations that he needs, quickly and intuitively, only by adding or extracting a category to/from another.
