Wiki CC OCW World University and School (accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC), which donated itself to Wikidata in October 2015, plans to create wiki libraries in all 7,097 living languages ( http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources), and with plans to do so in a realistic virtual earth (e.g. conceptually like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider). For example, conceptually, pick a book off the shelf in the picture of this library - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.h... - with a link to the book's Wikidata/Wikisource Q-item or similar.
Best, Scott

TL;DR -- The Open Library team would love to help empower more wikipedia
and
wikidata users to access readable copies of books related to the content they're viewing. And we'd love to explore donating metadata to help
improve
the quality of Wikidata. What are the community's feelings on this, what existing efforts may exist (or have existed) which I should be aware of,
and
how do you recommend we proceed in a way which respects the community's policies and goals?
That would be great, Thank you.
You can find some information on how we accept data donations at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Data_donation
and I would be happy to assist you with the process, and with liaising with the Wikidata community.
