One metadata entry for every book
The Internet Archive has millions of digitized books. Over 2M of the Internet Archive's books have OCLC identifiers. For books which have been resolved to their OCLC identifiers, Alexis Rossi has provided a book linked-data flow diagram which documents how metadata from different sources can also be retrieved, depending on what identifiers you have available.
The goal of this project is to leverage whatever remote identifiers we have available (e.g. Amazon's "asin") to resolve a book to as many of its qualified remote sources as possible, and to coalesce each source's metadata into a single coherent, complete metadata record.
