Works
Musical compositions and their credits and identifiers.
A work is a musical composition: the underlying song, piece, or movement, independent of any particular recording. MusiMap can represent a work's title, type, language, credits, identifiers such as ISWC, and classifications.
Parameters
These parameters describe the composition itself. Recordings of the work are represented as tracks linked through recording relationships.

subtitle |
Subtitle or qualifier for the work. |
language |
Primary language of the composition lyrics or text, when known. |

The kind of musical work (for example song, symphony, or movement). |

Works can carry external references such as ISWC, MusicBrainz Work IDs, or provider-specific work identifiers.
