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. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata_talk%3AWikiProject_Books&diff=162771850&oldid=162771302

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.
