The state of inventaire.io experiments on a federated database on books using Wikidata entities, properties, and data model Video
There are two faces to inventaire.io:
- the web app: inventaire.io
- the open database on books: data.inventaire.io (this needs an update)
inventaire.io as a CC0-lisence contributive database completing Wikidata on books and their editions
API doc: api.inventaire.io

- either inventaire becomes the central point for sub-Wikidata books data
- or another project takes this role (Wikidata itself?) and inventaire will be glad to make its CC0 data easy to import there
It shouldn't be an issue to have several initiative covering more or less this ground as long as we make those inter-operable and CC0:
one of those will became the de facto central point and the other will be happy to benefit from its work
Long term vision: get book lovers, librarians, bookshops to contribute to an open contributive database on books, ALL THE BOOKS
