Hi emijrp,
I will have to investigate the licensing computability. Looking at the
wikidata site on meta, it only mentions that " The content in Wikidata
will be made available under a free license." [1] Are there any more
decisions so far on this topic or will any CC license do?

Hi Max;
Is WorldCat aware of the Wikidata free license?
I think that it is a good idea to include that info in Wikidata, that
and
the DOI metadata, which is currently generated like this[1] (only
available
in English Wikipedia).
Regards,
emijrp

Hello Wikidata Wizards,****
** **
Phoebe Ayers from the Board recommended I talk to you. My name is Max
Klein and I am the Wikipedian in Residence for OCLC. OCLC owns
Worldcat.org
the world?s largest holder of Library data at 264
million
bibliographic
records about books, journals and other library items.
We would really
like
to partner with you as Wikidata is being built, in
incorporating our
data
into your project.****
** **
*What we can offer:*
**? **WorldCat.org metadata
http://www.worldcat.org/ . ****
**o **Typically, for any work we have most of the following: title,
authors, publisher, formats, summaries, editions, subjects, languages,
intended audience, all associated ISBNs, length, and abstract.****
**? **APIs to this data
http://oclc.org/developer/****
**o **And some other cool APIs like xISBN which returns all the
ISBNs
of all the editions of book on the input of any single
one.****
**? **Library finding tools****
**o **When viewing a record on our site, we show you the closest
library which has that work, and links to reserve it for pick-up.****
**? **The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)
http://viaf.org/, which is an Authoritative Disambiguation file****
**o **That means that we have certified data on disambiguation of
Authors****
**? **WorldCat Identities, an Analytics site
http://www.worldcat.org/identities/****
**o **It gives you for Author metadata and analytics: Alternative
names, significant dates, publication timelines, genres, roles,
related
authors, and tag clouds of associated subjects.****
** **
*What?s in it for us:*
**? **We are a not-for-profit member cooperative. Our mission
is
?Connecting people to knowledge through library
cooperation.?****
**? **Since I work at the research group, for now this is just
a
research project.****
**o **If at some point this goes live - and you want to - we?d like
to
integrate the ?find it at a library near me? feature,
that means
click-throughs for us.****
** **
*The ideas:*
There are a lot of possibilities, and I?d like to hear your input.
These
are the first few that I?ve can come up with.****
**? **Making infoboxes for each book or author that contains
all
their metadata.****
**o **Ready to incorporate into all language projects.****
**? **Using authority files to disambiguate or link works to
their creators.****
**o **Solving DABs****
**? **Using our analytics (e.g. author timelines) as Wikidata
data types to transclude.****
**o **Curating articles with easy to include dynamic analytics****
**? **Populating or creating works/author pages with their
algorithmically-derived history and details.****
**o **Extremely experimental semantic work.****
** **
I?m roaring and ready to get this collaboration going. I know Wikidata
is
at an early stage, and we are willing to accommodate
you.****
Send me any feedback or ideas,****
** **
