The motivations behind the project are further described at [[Project:Principles]].

	~~==Current projects==~~

	~~=== Historic patents ===~~
	~~An effort to build a unified database of historical patents. Data coming eventually.~~

	~~=== Odia Bibhaba ===~~
	~~Books written in the Odia language. Data pending import; [[Item:Q458\|demonstration item]]~~

	~~=== Copyright expiry ===~~
	~~Metadata items were created on works that may or may not be in the public domain, facilitating identification of these works. [[Item:Q509\|Example item]]~~

	~~===Classes and roles===~~
	Items are organized by class using [[Property:P19]], with [[Item:Q410]] as the root class item. See [https://query.librarybase.org/#prefix%20lb%3A%20%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Flibrarybase.org%2Fentity%2F%3E%0Aprefix%20lbt%3A%20%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Flibrarybase.org%2Fprop%2Fdirect%2F%3E%0Aselect%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20where%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20lbt%3AP19%20lb%3AQ410%20.%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%20%7D current list of class items on Librarybase Query Service]. This is meant to bring Librarybase closer in alignment with databases like Fatcat and OpenAlex.

	This differs from Wikidata's "instance of" and "subclass of" properties in that items are assigned classes according to a controlled vocabulary. This can be used instead of or in conjunction with those properties. One major departure from Wikidata is the concept of the [[Item:Q413\|single-edition work]], used to avoid creating separate work and edition items when there is no real reason to.

	One subclass is "[[Item:Q422\|role]]," which a member of a class can have. See [https://query.librarybase.org/#prefix%20lb%3A%20%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Flibrarybase.org%2Fentity%2F%3E%0Aprefix%20lbt%3A%20%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Flibrarybase.org%2Fprop%2Fdirect%2F%3E%0Aselect%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20where%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20lbt%3AP19%20lb%3AQ422%20.%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%20%7D current list of role-type items on Librarybase Query Service].
