Every article in Salesforce Knowledge can be categorized. A data category selection represents a category that has been selected to classify an article. You can use this object to query and manage article categorization in your organization. Client applications can create a categorization for an article with a Draft status. They can also delete and query article categorizations.

When using this object to classify an article, you can't select both a category (for example USA) and one of its descendants (California) or ascendant categories (North America). In this case, only the first category is selected.
