From a Wikidata point of view, it's really good to have one dedicated page
ofr the "work" and different ones for the "editions": you can structure both Wikisource and Wikidata with a clear structure, without ambiguities.
This is an example of a Wikisource Work page: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Opera:Filocolo
These are very important books that have had different editions in the past, and a dedicated namespace is good so you can have * dedicated templates * dedicated categories * dedicated layout
A disambiguation page is in ns0, and it's conceptually different from a "multiple edition" page... So in this way is easy to tell the difference.

For the "work" concept, Italian Wikisource decided to create a real and new namespace, "Opera" (which means work). It's the one page where we store the links to multiple editions of a certain book we have.
It's not a disambiguation page in the sense that a disambiguation page works with different books from different authors with the same title e.g. "Poems"...

I forgot about that too. Aubrey; Could you tell us the advantage and inconvenient of this system (and in comparison to the 'multiple editions' pages of the others Wikisources).

PS: this is the kind of question that would be interesting to have during a hangout session like we had (I will write a separate mail to re-launch them)
