This is really awesome! I met some of the team working on their LOD software at an event at Stanford in the spring -- they seem to be doing really amazing and savvy work to make their library data fully compliant -- excited to see Wikidata become a data hub for them (they weren't really sure if they were going to do that when I talked to them then). Glad you have been able to make progress!
