Writing some code around metadata retrieval for open-access books today and realising that using this as my example work might not be the best idea as the title may be an edgecase in itself. punctumbooks.com/titles/three-opening-parentheses/

Well, ((( now exists in Wikidata's test site despite a title that confused me when rendered in Json. test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q222821

Back on automating the integration of book metadata in Wikidata and I'm pleased that Wikidata models books using a simplified version of FRBR so that my former life as a librarian comes in handy but also they've reduced needless complexity. wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books

Broadly speaking, Wikidata divides a book into a 'work' - the text in literary theory parlance - and an 'edition' - a particular manifestion of a publication of that text. One work can have many editions.
