If it is fair use to create transformative data from scanned books, could the Internet Archive work with universities and commerical entities to create an open license corpus of data that is derived from their collection of scanned books?

As precedent, Google did contribute Freebase to Wikidata, even though it was the starting point for their proprietary Knowledge Graph (Facebook has a competing graph), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase

Yes, and I strongly support their effort to do so.
