No, we don't need to import them all, but there was always the question if we were allowed to import that data from external sources.

At least for the DNB that question has been settled.

This seems very interesting: maybe, there will be a time when Wikidata (or similar) will host the bibliographic records

of thousands of libraries... 

Right now, I'm not sure if we want to discuss a massive upload of these records in WD, 

because:

* they are in MARC, which is way more complex than the list of bibliographic properties  currently in WD

* they will be in German

* do we really need so many records of books, articles and work, at this early stage?

Hi,

Maybe this is interesting as an import source for bibliographic info
