It would be *very* cool to build a mapping between MARC and Wikidata
properties, or Book templates in WPedias
Of course, every template is different, although I remember a talk in
Wikimania about standardisation...
As part of my IEG on Wikisource, I developed the draft that David linked,
but it's very basic.
I don't know how far the work has gone in developing a Commons "wikidata"
repository,
and I'm not sure if Liam's (and others) work with the GLAMWIKI toolset is
related or not.
But we can definitely have a chat all together to update each other,
and see what is the state of the art regarding book metadata, templates and
Wikidata.
