Hi everyone,
next week I'll participate in a conference/hackathon called WikiCite [1]

It will be a great opportunity to talk about Wikidata and books in general, and of course I'd love to work about the integration of Wikidata and Wikisource.

It is my understanding (but please correct me if I'm wrong) that very few Wikisource integrated their books with Wikidata.

Of course, this is because the perennial issue of complicated relationships between books: a book as a "work", a book as an "edition" of that work.
To complicate further, Wikisources host the ns0 textual version of a book and
the nsIndex, but Wikidata do want only one sitelink...

That's not really that complicated (see Tpt explanation and pages like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikisource/How_to_help ).

For the nsindex, there is a specific property : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957

Many discussions happened here [2],
but I fear I'm lost now. I don't know where are we now, and if some community did indeed solve the problem.
If your so, please tell :-)

It's really important.

I think the main problem is about pedagogy and easy-to-use tools (I love Wikidata but to be honest, the interface really sucks for newbies).

BTW, in Rennes, we planned to think on June 18th about importing all the 13 millions books of the BnF catalog into Wikidata (or at least some part of it).
