QuebecLiteratureBot edit
QuebecLiteratureBot (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Operator: Mchlggnn (talk • contribs • logs)
Task/s:
Populate Wikidata with information about the works published by Canadian writers.
Code: Will be added later.
Function details: The bot will create new items for each book published by an author (very few exist at this moment in Wikidata).
Information about published books will mainly come from BAnQ, which is the legal depositary of published works in the territory of Quebec (Canada), and Infocentre littéraire des écrivains. The added data will make the distinction between the work, which is the abstract concept of the book, and every manifestations of this work, which are published editions, associated to the following information: date of publication, publisher, number of pages, etc.
For an example, you can consult the links ww added to the writer Sylvain Trudel. You can see the he is the author of the two following works:
The first one is associated to three editions, using the property has edition or translation:
The first two correspond, respectively, to the first edition of the original book, and another later edition with another publisher. The last one is an English translation. Note that each manifestation (that is, an edition) is indicated with a date, that distinguishes it from the work itself.

- this needs more detail to be approved. BrokenSegue (talk) 14:01, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I added some detail and a complete example. Mchlggnn 13:13, 2 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]
- So essentially all works and editions subject to depôt légal in Quebec would be imported?
- How many would this be?
- How many would be added each month?
- I'm not sure Wikidata is up to that. Maybe input from Wikidata:Contact the development team should be sought. --- Jura 08:56, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This bot request looks stale and the numbers look scary so Oppose for now and this request should probably just be closed. @Mchlggnn: you need to respond to prevent this. Multichill (talk) 10:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
