The document discusses improving metadata on Wikisource. Currently, Wikisource information about books lacks standardized metadata and is not machine-readable. The document proposes developing a metadata management system to make metadata machine-readable and granular using Dublin Core. It also suggests creating a tool to harvest and import metadata from library databases to make it easier to add metadata to Wikisource entries. Challenges include deciding where to build these tools and changing attitudes of librarians and wikipedians regarding the importance of metadata and open collaboration.
