The WikiCite conference is finished and we had lenghty discussions about Wikidata and books and citations.
Some of that was useful also for Wikisource.

I'm trying to add some notes directly here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Books#Review_of_.22works.22_and_.22editions.22

But also I saw that en.source started doing some stuff with Wikidata, so I'm curious if there are some editors
that can tell us something about it :-)

All this is way more complex than what we have at he.wikisource.

We only link the main ns0 page of a work, and usually we have only one edition of it. We don't use the index NS much, (since most of our books are either manually typed-in or OCRed privately and the text uploaded, either before or after having been proofread. If not proofread, we add a template).

This is the way our veteran users have gotten used to run things. I guess it drives would-be newcomers away. But we've been experimenting with a few works done with the Index:/Page: interface and it seems even more confusing to newcomers who don't know how to create a book from the proofread pages and see an accomplished result for their efforts.

Thanks Tpt for the quick response.

I feel that that is the situation for most Wikisources: the problem is that it's a static model, and not a procedure.

Exactly what I tried to say : the problem is practical not theorical.
 
For example:
I put a new book in my Wikisource, what should I do?
* check if is a new edition of a book in WS
if not
* check if there is already an item on WD
** if so, check if is work or edition
** if edition --> ok, link it
** if work, create edition, then link it

Workflows like this, I think, are not in place.
We would need a WikidataWizard :-D

\o/ we definitely need that !
Who could build such a WonderfulWikidataWizard ?
