Talk:International Standard Musical Work Code
Uptake
It would be good to show evidence of this being used by public-facing web sites, such as a library or retailer. Andy Mabbett 16:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Clarifications
It would be useful to clarify the phrase "is a unique identifier for musical works".
For example: Consider the following ISWCs...
- T-071.314.125-3
- T-802.203.417-0
- T-802.192.136-9
- T-802.337.911-6
- T-801.864.699-7
- T-801.952.979-5
- T-801.981.666-2
- T-801.983.126-7
- T-801.983.736-7
- T-802.222.486-9
- T-802.254.649-3
- T-802.298.235-1
- T-802.602.941-5
- T-802.876.769-4
- T-803.034.055-8
- T-803.062.597-0
- T-803.069.454-4
- T-803.088.674-0
- T-803.088.860-0
- T-801.983.578-1
ALL of these are for (what appears to be) the same piece of music: "Mack the Knife". All of them are listed as having been performed by Michael Bublé. In other words, we have one work that is listed under a plethora of different codes.
