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.
