Thanks for reviving this thread, Luiz. I also wanted to ask whether we should be updating parts of DNB and similar data. Maybe not create new entries, but for those that we already have, add some of the available data and point to the DNB dataset?

Or maybe use openlibrary.org as a staging area for such data and fetch it from there? I'm not sure Wikidata should "compete" with openlibrary, it's a huge work and they already have an infrastructure for it; Wikidata/Wikimedia could "just" let the users easily import the data when it's needed. An obvious example is pre-filling of book/work metadata on Wikipedia articles, Wikisource books, Commons files (and associated Wikidata entries).
