Manifestation that embodies one expression

The diagram shows that there is a choice of describing the expression or its work as separate related entities and which to include in manifestation statements or notes for the manifestation that is being described. Optional entities, manifestation statements, and notes are outlined by dashes.
Record a value of a has expression embodied in manifestation element, or record a value of has work embodied in manifestation for the work that is realised by the expression. This is mandatory.
Record both elements, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.
Record additional information about the expression or work by applying any of the following methods, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata:
- Record a has note on expression associated with manifestation element that includes a description of the expression or record a has note on work associated with manifestation element that includes a description of the work.
- Record a has manifestation statement or element sub-type that includes information about the expression or the work.
Record additional information with more than one method, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.
