🎥 Session recording: [https://youtu.be/ER342VJb3fM?t=8660](https://youtu.be/ER342VJb3fM?t=8660)
[Wikisource Reader App](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_reader_app) is a recently developed free and open e-book reading application for Android users currently [available on Google play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.cis_india.wsreader). It utilizes the power of Wikidata to fetch readily available books from the free and open digital library of Wikisource projects and provides a clean interface with pleasant reading experience to its users. In the first half of the session, there will be a live demonstration showcasing the different features of the app. In the second half of the session, the participants will learn to enrich bibliographical data on Wikidata according to the FRBR model with understanding of the mandatory criteria required in those Wikidata items for a Wikisource content to be included in the app through a brief hands-on Wikidata workshop. The entire session is intended to be interactive in nature with an aim to gather feedback from the participants and share insights with each other. Hopefully, by the end of the session, the participants will be able to improve data of a few more books for the app and there will be at least one new language Wikisource project ready for the next release.
