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
discussion about finished books on the Korean Wikisource,
I this demonstrates that we really need to advertise the finished
books to a reading public.>>>
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).>>>
