Thank you for this pointer, it's appreciated.

Are there definitions for the properties? I have had a look at the examples and landed here: 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P106

is this about a profession one has learnt or the work that one does? Maybe it's a language problem but it seems completely messed up: in German the main translation is "occupation" with profession amongst the synonyms, while in Italian profession is the main translation and occupation amongst the synonyms. In English there is a list of different words with similar but also not equal meaning (job, work, career, profession, employment). I am missing a short statement that describes the actual meaning of this property rather than listing words with similar meanings which make it actually less clear. The translations also augment the confusion rather then help.


cheers
