I created a visualization of female cartoonists. I chose female cartoonists because my cartoonist is Hilda Terry, who is a female. Since she was considered a trailblazer for women in the comic writing world, I thought it would be interesting to see how many more female cartoonists there are. My table produced 904 results and I was able to find my cartoonist within the table. I could either do a table, tree, dimensions, or a graph. The dimension was very messy and basically unreadable. I think my search was too broad with too many results to use this layout. I liked the graph because it was interactive and animated. It also showed the magnitude of how many results there were. Both the table and graph successfully show the number of females who have identified their occupations as cartoonists. I had to specifically search for Hilda Terry, but I was able to find her. I would have liked to expand the search for female cartoonists in the National Cartoonist Society, since Hilda was the first female inducted into the club, but when I tried this it did not work. It told me there were no results.
I really struggled with SPARQL so I am not sure if I did this correctly. Every time I tried to make it more specific it would say no results. I watched the tutorial and read the google doc but still struggled. Although I was able to produce a table it took a while since I am not used to SPARQL. When I tried to replace the red and blue in the query it would also say no results. I think I most likely just need more practice.
I would like to do Critical Criterion 1 on Hilda Terry and female cartoonists but I am afraid there is not enough information. I will either do a bubble graph or a bar graph but I obviously want to make it more specific.
