OK, I'll work on this as I get time (I'm at a conference, so it won't be until next week). I'm going to take the "minimalist" approach, since MARC is "maximalist". If I find terms that I think are missing from the document there, I will add them.

It looks like this is only referring to books, so that's all that I will look at.

There will be conflicts with the datatypes, and no real way to resolve those. MARC "authors" are strings, not "items". In fact, everything in MARC is a string.

Another question: Do we assume that every field is repeatable?

Paula: I think that libraries are the only ones that consider corporations and conferences to be "authors" so I tend to put those in "contributor" fields.

Karen and Paula,
the best would be if you could continue filling up the excel table, I
created two extra columns, one for MARC and the other for {{cite book}}:

There you already have some equivalences with Wikidata properties.

Thanks!

    I'm not as familiar with Wikidata as WP - are the citation
    "templates" the same? If so, I'll do some mapping. Where would it be
    best to put them?

        Please let me know how I can help with this mapping effort.

                 Aubrey - there are a LOT of mappings there. Am I
        correct that
                 none of
                 them are mappings to the {{cite}} templates?

                 Having been steeped (if not petrified) in MARC21 for
        decades, I
                 could
                 attempt a mapping to the {{cite}} templates. It would
        cover books,
                 music, movies, possibly photographs, and maybe art works.
                 Articles are
                 not usually coded in MARC but a mapping could be made.


             Vlsergey offered to make a gadget to import MARC records into
             Wikidata entries! :D Please get in touch. Thanks both in
        advance, it
             will be great.

                 Note that there is a mapping in OpenLibrary from their
        books data
                 (derived from MARC but not in MARC), and with a single
        click you
                 get the
                 filled in book citation template for the book. I use
        this a lot.
                 Some of
                 us have been wishing that OCLC WorldCat would do the
        same. It makes
                 sense to have the mapping happen at the discovery point.
