Hello Jean-Baptiste and welcome!
regarding the bibliographic aspects of your question, I have to mention
that we have a page where we collect and discuss these properties
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Books_task_force

As you can see, we already use the FRBR model and we were considering
mapping external ontologies like FaBiO or others
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Books_task_force#Mapping_external_ontologies

But of course we are always short on volunteers and this is not done yet,
so if you would like to help out finding equivalences with RDA or/and FaBiO
we would be most grateful. What needs to be done is to find out where are
the exact relationships and where we use a different way to express the
same concept, and if we miss any property, then propose it for creation.
That could be a previous step before the connection can be established
directly from the property page, as Daniel mentioned.

Cheers,
Micru
