A Work is defined as "The intellectual or artistic content of a distinct creation" (Library Reference Model)
It is the top level and most abstract entity in the WEMI stack (Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item), and serves to cluster all expressions of what one could consider "the same book" (or e.g. same play, film, game, etc.) in different formats and languages.
While the work is an abstract entity, convention is to assign it a title, language and year in order to aid with identifying the work.
