Hey folks :)
Last night we added Wikibooks to Wikidata. Wikibooks' language links can now be maintained on Wikidata. Please give them a warm welcome and keep an eye on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikibooks for questions if you can.
Cheers Lydia
Lydia and Wikidatans,
Great!
In what ways might Wikibooks in Wikidata now make possible, or anticipate, translation or correlation of a specific book between different languages, if at all? In what ways might individual words (or even letters) in any book in any given language, eventually become items in Wikidata where - "items are used to represent all the things in human knowledge, including topics, concepts, and objects" - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Items ?
Thanks for this exciting development.
Cheers, Scott
