This is definitely the sort of thing that I have in mind with book interop. The reality is that with so many data sources for books, that there needs to be some sort of mapping of books, which would need the user to explicitly decide on the mapping.

after a fun chat with @laurenshof.online and @ronentk.me I finally made time to write up some more thoughts about interoperability in the atmosphere without needing to share lexicons! notes.wesleyfinck.org/3maq3h26ook2h

In Which A Book Lexicon is Born
Hi everyone, We recently held a sync to discuss creating a shared book lexicon for the Atmosphere Protocol. I’ve shared the full recording (thanks Ronen!) and notes from the meeting here: Fathom with some early notes here: https://app.notion.com/p/Book-Lexicon-Session-1-211b2b43aabb8007b098d063972ca58c (also do we have a ATProto version of Notion yet?)

I hope I can link to it whenever someone asks why their import didn't work on @bookhive.buzz 😝
