The labels \u201cmale organism\u201d, \u201cmale\u201d, \u201cfemale organism\u201d, and \u201cfemale\u201d created the largest categories. Other labels include intersex, trans woman, agender, genderfluid, hermaphroditism, neutral sex, gender queer, and nonbinary. This query pulled the most data of any query I have tried. I believe this is because the most common label attached to a comic character is their gender. The table visualization type was the best way to display this data. The table showed the volume of characters in each category which enables the user to quantify data within each gender. Other types of visualizations placed data points on a graph which hurts the users\u2019 ability to quantify and analyze the data. The table showed that \u201cmale\u201d characters were the most common with \u201cfemale\u201d characters coming in close second. Gender is an interesting topic for comics characters. Especially for anime characters and nonhuman beings, placing them into heteronormative gender categories can be a difficult task.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGender placements in Wikidata are sometimes in conflict with other databases. For example, the character Ryou Asuka is labeled under the hermaphrodite category through my Wikidata query, but Google labels Asuka as a man. This irregularity is a great example of errors because of human interpretation. Data entered into databases are structured and explicit, but the humans who entered that data can have differing opinions. The human who entered the Google data had a different interpretation of Ryou Asuka than the human who entered the data into Wikidata. To lessen human errors, peer checking and research standards should be enforced so that all data is as correct as (humanly) possible.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
