There is a Grant Proposal from a couple of weeks ago that is relevant to this discussion. "Wikidata items for sources, such as a journal article, contain metadata that could be used to generate a citation from that item to be used on a wiki."On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 6:12 PM, Karen Coyle <kcoyle@kcoyle.net> wrote: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?

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.
