Authors from Italian Wikisource have already a lot (if not all) metadata on
Wikidata:
authors are *easy* compared to books (don't have the whole work-edition
issue),
so I think that users Candalua, Alex brollo and others solved this problem
long ago.

When you've copied all the metadata from WS authors to WD items (phase 1),
you then need a system in place to
* pull the data from WD and put it in WS (Lua templates or something)
* maintain it (the templates need to remind the user to go to WD and update
the information)
This is phase 2.

Unfortunately, for books we're always pre-phase 1 :-(
