Are you referring to MusicBrainz[1]?

I’m not, no. Musicbrainz is amazing and I’ve known them for a long time but it doesn’t address this problem - which is to do with authoritative first party metadata that define rights ownership.

What I’m referring to is the structural identifiers like ISRC and ISWC.

Those are new to me; thank you.

You're welcome.

You can query the ISWC database maintained by CISAC (the issuing authority) here: https://iswcnet.cisac.org/

The IFPI has the equivalent database for ISRC:
