The Identification Committee at BISG has wrangled with this idea for years
as well. What we've come to conclude is that "work" means different things
to different constituencies. Each online retailer, for example, might
define "work" independently - because collocating and grouping is part of
their individual value propositions; publishers might have a more
constrictive view of "work". And librarians might have a still different
view. So rather than define "work" across the book industry, the committee
more or less decided to leave that definition to each sector.

Which is one reason why ISTC did not gain adoption in the US. (Another is
that it would group together editions published by different publishers -
who did not want to refer consumers to competing editions.)
