It would be *very* cool to build a mapping between MARC and Wikidata
properties, or Book templates in WPedias
Of course, every template is different, although I remember a talk in
Wikimania about standardisation...
As part of my IEG on Wikisource, I developed the draft that David linked,
but it's very basic.
I don't know how far the work has gone in developing a Commons "wikidata"
repository,
and I'm not sure if Liam's (and others) work with the GLAMWIKI toolset is
related or not.
But we can definitely have a chat all together to update each other,
and see what is the state of the art regarding book metadata, templates and
Wikidata.

I hope you can build upon it.

it died with Toolserver; if there's nothing else, it's worth reviving.
Context: as part of the work at BEIC (
https://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BEIC ) I want to figure out a quick and clean way to
reference, on it.wiki articles, books in their digital library: I'll
probably use {{cita libro}} or a wrapper for it. Metadata is in MARC, like
http://131.175.183.1/webclient/MetadataManager?pid=
116634&descriptive_only=true
In addition we'll also upload hundreds books on Commons, see the
discussion there: <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Book#
Ancient_book_with_institution>
The only tools I know for metadata conversion towards Commons are BUB and
ia-upload (relying on Internet Archive).
