This is an ooold issue: Wikisource does not have proper metadata.
I'm one of the people that Nemo Was mentioning: I'm a digital librarian
working for MLOL, and in the past 2 years, among other dozens of digital
libraries, I've managed to import Wikisource metadata on MLOL in 3
languages
Sorry, Sam, the other thing I meant to say was: that's a brilliant idea!
:-) I'd love to help make it happen, if I can be of any use. :)

It's slightly tricky at the moment to extract data for validated works,
for one because we don't have solid data linking Index pages to their
corresponding main namespace (i.e. "work") pages. The Index pages have
the status, but the mainspace pages are what we think of as the work.

Hoi,
In my opinion this is a service not only for editors but for the complete
Wikimedia reader public. So the notion of putting it in that platform is
great but we need to advertise the finished books of Wikisource to the
whole world.

Hi all,
I work on the Wikipedia Library program, and wanted to jump in with a
passing thought I'd had about Wikisource and TWL. We'll be building search
and discovery tools into the library card platform (
https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/) that's currently under ongoing
development. They'll

The index status information IS available in MediaWiki, see:
https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:IndexPages
Unfortunately, it is hard to use it as
* it seems to be available only as this HTML special page (no API interface, no
LUA interface)
* if is available only for 1
Can you divert that Wikidata stuff to other thread? I’m not sure if this is
really related to ‘kowikisource’...

Hoi,
Yes we need to have a better mechanism. However, there is nothing stopping
us to publish all the books that are finished and ready to be read. That is
the proof of the Wikisource pudding..
So is there a Wikidata query showing all the books that are finished and
ready to read. With this we

The validation-status data can and sometimes is stored in Wikidata. See how
it is stored here : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Badges and here an

The validation flag for wikisource on wikidata is a manual switch, and

Hoi,
When this data is in Wikidata, we can build a query that shows all the
ready books in every language. We can then package it and measure how often
books are read. This is the purpose of Wikisource isn't it?
Thanks,

Hoi,
What does it take to get the validation-status in Wikidata. If anything it
is the most important attribute. Knowing what people can read trumps
