OK, I'll work on this as I get time (I'm at a conference, so it won't be until next week). I'm going to take the "minimalist" approach, since MARC is "maximalist". If I find terms that I think are missing from the document there, I will add them.

It looks like this is only referring to books, so that's all that I will look at.

There will be conflicts with the datatypes, and no real way to resolve those. MARC "authors" are strings, not "items". In fact, everything in MARC is a string.

Another question: Do we assume that every field is repeatable?

Paula: I think that libraries are the only ones that consider corporations and conferences to be "authors" so I tend to put those in "contributor" fields.

Karen and Paula,
the best would be if you could continue filling up the excel table, I
created two extra columns, one for MARC and the other for {{cite book}}:

There you already have some equivalences with Wikidata properties.

Thanks!

I'm not as familiar with Wikidata as WP - are the citation
"templates" the same? If so, I'll do some mapping. Where would it be
best to put them?

Please let me know how I can help with this mapping effort.

Aubrey - there are a LOT of mappings there. Am I
correct that
none of
them are mappings to the {{cite}} templates?

Having been steeped (if not petrified) in MARC21 for
decades, I
could
attempt a mapping to the {{cite}} templates. It would
cover books,
music, movies, possibly photographs, and maybe art works.
Articles are
not usually coded in MARC but a mapping could be made.

Vlsergey offered to make a gadget to import MARC records into
Wikidata entries! :D Please get in touch. Thanks both in
advance, it
will be great.

Note that there is a mapping in OpenLibrary from their
books data
(derived from MARC but not in MARC), and with a single
click you
get the
filled in book citation template for the book. I use
this a lot.
Some of
us have been wishing that OCLC WorldCat would do the
same. It makes
sense to have the mapping happen at the discovery point.
