I think this is a great idea. I don't know of any current docs that hit this mark, but I'm not that familiar with the docs overall.
One point that would come up that would be good to have really well-explained: the relationship between Dataset/Model/Statement/Resource/etc. and DatasetGraph/Graph/Triple/Node/etc., which is part of Claude's question (2) and (3). Once you get it, you get it, but right now, I think most people get it by inspecting the code and asking questions. A nice diagram might help here. I'll try and create one sometime soon. --- A.
