Episode 03 3.3 focus on Mae Jemison rather than book? #17

Closed eslao closed 2 years ago

While looking at adapting the current example (Feynman and one of his books) to use Mae Jemison and one her books, I'm wondering whether it might make more sense to add detailed steps for describing the first item (Mae Jemison) rather than the second one (her book), for two reasons:

  1. It seems weird to not add an instance and at least one profession based on Jemison's Wikipedia entry, which would also be easy to add as a reference. (Her memoir doesn't have a Wikipedia entry and describing it, with references, would require the learner to look for external sources, which doesn't seem to be the emphasis of this exercise.)
  2. Describing the book would require delving into more complex modeling (is it an instance of "book" or "written work" or "version, edition, or translation"? See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books
