How can we create useful collections from these online materials?
The Wikimedia ecosystem gives us a number of tools that can be used for this, including
* Wikisource, where works can be transcribed, and categorised
* Wikidata where the metadata can be stored, checked and improved; and where we can document related identities such as publishers, and authors
* Wikipedia, where we can write list articles, or have them populated by Wikidata queries; not to mention articles about authors
Wikidata can also be used to populate external tools like Scholia.
Then we have a number of tools on the toolserver, which allow us to crowdsource things like identifier matches, main sujects, and links to authors, and add them to Wikidata
