Hi Adam, What if you have an entity that has multiple roles, one at the creator level and the other at another level (e.g. author and publisher)?
Would it be acceptable to use relationship designator for both roles in a 1XX, like this: 110 2_ Geological Survey (U.S.), $e author, $e publisher. Or would you have to use a 1XX and 7XX, like this: 110 2_ Geological Survey (U.S.), $e author 710 2_ Geological Survey (U.S.), $e publisher We've encountered this situation many times. Thanks for your help! Ryan J.

Works are not named by combining the authorized access point for issuing body or host institution with the preferred title for the work. To be a 110, the corporate body must be a creator. Choose from the relationship designators for creators and if there isn't an appropriate one there (I think "author" is perfectly fine and allowable for corporate bodies and families as well as persons), then use the element name, in this case "creator".
