I'd consider LC uniform title authority record IDs to be work
identifiers. No?

I would consider them primarily more as expressions e.g.
100 1_ |a Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616. |t Sonnets. |l German & English. |k Selections
400 1_ |a Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616. |t Dreissig Sonette
400 1_ |a Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616. |t Das ist die feinste Liebeskunst
400 1_ |a Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616. |t Liebessonette
670 __ |a Shakespeare, W. Dreissig Sonette, c2002.
670 __ |a Das ist die feinste Liebeskunst, 2004.
670 __ |a Liebessonette, 1999.
Here, the 100 $a$t is the work, the rest is an expression.
This one includes some manifestation information:
130 _0 |a Bible. |p O.T. |p Genesis. |l Catalan. |s Clascar. |d 1914
although this gets into the problem of defining an expression in terms of changes in the manifestation, a long continuing practice.
But I'm not sure if the work here is the 130 a, or 130 a,p or 130 a,p,p. Probably the latter, and then the rest is the expression.
