Turn The MLC's public musical-works records into canonical, audit-friendly work records. Search by title or ISWC to receive writers, publisher and administrator interests, recording identifiers, and explicit reconciliation flags.
What the Actor does
- Flattens nested original-publisher and administrator interests into consistent share rows.
- Groups duplicate MLC registrations by ISWC, falling back to normalized title when no ISWC exists.
- Deduplicates writers and publisher interests while preserving identifiers and source provenance.
- Flags incomplete share totals, missing ISWCs, and writers without IPI numbers.
- Ranks results by linked recording count and returns a bounded number of canonical works.
The Actor does not call Songview, ASCAP, BMI, CAPTCHA-solving services, or private music-industry systems. Its production data path is limited to The MLC's public musical-works data.

The data comes from The MLC's public musical-works database. The MLC states that public database information may be used for any lawful purpose, subject to its terms. Results can contain incomplete, conflicting, or publisher-supplied claims; this Actor organizes and flags those records but does not adjudicate copyright ownership. Verify consequential licensing, clearance, payment, or acquisition decisions with the relevant rightsholders and qualified counsel.
