               ascertained, or where that International Standard Book Number
               is insufficient to enable the work or other subject-matter
               concerned to be identified, as the case may be-the title, if
               any of that work or other subject-matter and, if that title is
               not sufficient to enable the work or other subject-matter to be
               identified, a description of the work or other subject-matter
               that is sufficient to enable it to be so identified;".
