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.

Maybe you know about it already, there is this concept alignment that Aubrey did some time ago

I hope you can build upon it.

Is there any "standard" tool to build upon, for MARC to {{cite book}} etc. conversion? I know of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MARCsman but 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).
