How do we or should we define the term "work"?

Almost yes, but it is about both original works and covered works. That is, the Works tab for an artist actually list all works related to that artist.

I meant the same thing, in the “works” tab show up both covered works as well as own original works. So that issue now has been solved : “Works” on Music Brainz in the “works” tab are defined as "performed works" (repertoire) and that can be own compositions or covered compositions.

Thank you all so much for your valuable input! I hope the info about what shows up in the “works” tab will be implemented in the documentation, so there won’t be confusion about it anymore, when people like me want to list music at Music Brainz.
