Ancestor categories is the list of all the parent categories till the root
Canonical Categories is a path to the root where each level contains one of
the parent categories
For eg if a Category C1 has child categories C2 and C3 and C2 has child
category C4 then
Ancestor categories of C4 are C1, C2 and C3
Canonical categories are C1 and C2. Since the category C4 has multiple
parent categories we choose only one of its parent categories at this
level. This category is either the ParentCategory or the first parent
category
