Re: [Wikisource-l] [Wikidata-l] DNB 11M bibliographic records as CC0

Denny Vrandečić, 07/12/2013 00:59: Thanks for reviving this thread, Luiz. I also wanted to ask whether we should be updating parts of DNB and similar data. Maybe not create new entries, but for those that we already have, add some of the available data and point to the DNB dataset? Or maybe use
