WikiData - thoth-pub/thoth GitHub Wiki

Wikidata, an open knowledge base, has a dedicated project to encode book metadata, WikiProject Books. The website lists all definitions of appropriate metadata categories based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records

Metadata & API

Wikidata relies on Wikibase as

software that enables MediaWiki to store structured data or access data that is stored in a structured data repository. Source: Programmer's Guide to Wikibase

The Wikibase API is a RESTful web service, with demo apps and code snippets in Python, Javascript and PHP demonstrating how to use various modules of the MediaWiki Action API available on GitHub/Mediawiki.

The API endpoint is accessible via https://wikidata.org/w/api.php

Another relevant project is WikiProject Source Metadata.

The Thoth Wiki has been developed in the context of the COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) project. Individual contributions to the wiki have been made by Tim Elfenbein, Joanne Fitzpatrick, Rupert Gatti, Ross Higman, Hannah Hillen, Brendan O'Connell, Tobias Steiner, and Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei under the general editorship of Van Gerven Oei.
