Wiki CC OCW World University and School (accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC), which donated itself to Wikidata in October 2015, plans to create wiki libraries in all 7,097 living languages ( http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources), and with plans to do so in a realistic virtual earth (e.g. conceptually like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider). For example, conceptually, pick a book off the shelf in the picture of this library - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.html - with a link to the book's Wikidata/Wikisource Q-item or similar.
