Searching : generally
1.ENTER search terms

3.Explore search results

Success
Creating : generallyGenerally, search for a given entity before creating it (i.e., it may already be in the system).Also, creating a manifestation is the general case; the creation of other types of entity (e.g., work, expression, contributor) typically occurs as part of this process.
CREATE manifestation
SEARCH manifestation
Adding : generallyAdding always implies CREATING a relationship; it sometimes involves CREATING an entity (i.e., a contributor or work, or expression)

ADD : work structure & relationshipsThere are THREE sections here: 1) Adding & editing work structure, including child works; 2) adding source/derived works; 3) Adding expressions
ADD work structure
ADD expressions
ADD source and derived works
ADD : work structure & relationshipsThere are THREE sections here: 1) Adding & editing work structure, including child works; 2) adding source/derived works; 3) Adding expressions
ADD work structure
ADD expressions
ADD source and derived works
Notes1. Typically, expressions are added to a work in the context of creating a
manifestation. So it typically does not happen HERE, inside the “Work Structure
& Relationships” section.
2. What usually happens is this: An existing work is selected and a new expression
is created; or else a new work-expression pair is created.
3. It can thus happen that no work structure, source or derived works or
expressions are added here.
ADD : work structure & parent-child relationships
1.Click to add structure (associated or child)
2.CLICK to edit label; ENTER a
name for the part
3.CLICK box icon to set up work-work relationship for
individual parts
4.Drag & Drop to reorder
structural elements
5.UPDATE the work to create any work-work relationships
Design Notes1. Works (child or parent) might be linked to a work to generate structure. While
not typical (we assume the system does not contain “orphan” works), this certainly could occur.
2. We’re therefore thinking that as a cataloger enters the name of a child work (or when she sets a named child part to be a work) the system should perform a search to check and see if the work already exists.
ADD : source/derived work relationshipThe basic process of adding a source or derived work-work relationship is the same: search, then select and add (or create and add)
CREATE work
SEARCH source/derived

PROBLEM: Hey, where am I? Our cataloger is adding a contribution to an expression that is currently being linked to the manifestation being created. (i) This is similar yet importantly distinct from the last time a contribution was added, but that’s not so obvious. (ii) The WORK record up there appears to contain the expression, which seems backwards.[SH, Apr-07]
