It's slightly tricky at the moment to extract data for validated works,
for one because we don't have solid data linking Index pages to their
corresponding main namespace (i.e. "work") pages. The Index pages have
the status, but the mainspace pages are what we think of as the work.
There's P1957 now, which is the connextion we need, but the data for
that isn't complete.
We've also got (incomplete) support for OPDS in the wsexport tool, which
I think is probably a brilliant way forward for sharing the Wikisource
catalogue with other systems. Once we have better structural support in
Wikisource itself (e.g. structured data for querying validation status)
then we'll much more efficiently and easily be able to produce all sorts
of output for sharing.

Hi all,
I work on the Wikipedia Library program, and wanted to jump in with a
passing thought I'd had about Wikisource and TWL. We'll be building
search and discovery tools into the library card platform
(
https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/) that's currently under ongoing
development. They'll index all the usually-paywalled resources we have
access to, but also open access content. As part of that process it's
a desire of mine to index completed Wikisource works, though I haven't
given it much thought beyond 'that would be nice'. This might be able
to function as a kind of centralised search for all completed
Wikisource works, if implemented.>
If you're interested, the relevant Phab task is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T169875, where your thoughts are
very welcome. It won't be worked on for a while and I can't guarantee
that it will definitely happen, but if it's something the Wikisource
community would benefit from, then that would absolutely increase the
likelihood we'll work on it.>
Best,
Sam

Given the

In Italy, after many years of talk with local
libraries, the
Wikisource books are included in the catalogs of many libraries (also
via a local ebook provider, MLOL, who hired some wikimedians to work
on the "open collection", big kudos to them).>>
