Greetings,
Has anyone developed a UCI shim that provides OwnBook functionality for other engines? It would provide the opening book for a secondary engine, passing through all other UCI commands and moves once out-of-book. Seems like it could be useful since many engine authors are not interested in that part of engine development, and many UCI hosts don't support a separate UI book per engine.
UCI OwnBook shim?

For book alone there is aquarium book adapter. For other uci commands I am not sure what you mean.
HGM has developed some adapters to handle different commands from engines and allow it to run on winboard gui.

Thanks! I knew polyglot did books and WB-to-UCI conversion, but I didn't know it now supported UCI as well.

Ian,
I think Polyglot is what you're looking for.
Here's a YouTube video I did a couple of years ago which explains how to create a high quality opening Polygot opening book:

you also might want to replace millionbase from Ed's site with slightly newer and bigger gorgobase: http://gorgonian.weebly.com/pgn.html
