Public International Database of Literature Works?

Question

There's a question about books: (Public database of book titles?), but what I'm looking for is actually a DB of literature works, not books.

For example, "Romeo and Juliet" is a single literature work, but there are multiple books published with it.

So this is definitely different.

Can you add a definition of literature work to make the distinction more clear? — , Dec 20 '17 at 12:06
@JanDoggen actually, everything that can be published in books :) Novels, stories, poetry, etc. Writers write literature work and then their work is being published in different books. — Gino Pane, Dec 20 '17 at 13:11
@StanislavKralin thanks, sounds interesting. But how to get authors too? I've added author name in fields, but got significantly less results. — Gino Pane, Dec 20 '17 at 13:12
@GinoPane, uncomment lines 4,5,7 and put lines 4, 5 into OPTIONAL {...}. — Stanislav Kralin, Dec 20 '17 at 13:18
@StanislavKralin cool, thank you, that's better: http://tinyurl.com/yagvxmqu — Gino Pane, Dec 20 '17 at 13:48
If that works for you, you can self-answer your question, so that others benefit from it as well (but then, add the query, don't just link elsewhere). — , Dec 20 '17 at 14:31
@JanDoggen yes, I will, if no more answers come in a couple of days — Gino Pane, Dec 20 '17 at 17:36
@StanislavKralin indeed! I have postponed this again and again :) — Gino Pane, Feb 16 '18 at 17:36

The best solution so far came from comments. Thanks to @StanislavKralin who suggested to use public Wikidata as a source.

Here's the link to SPARQL query that can be tried: http://tinyurl.com/y6wpk5q5.
