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!

Neither an issuing body nor a host institution is a creator in RDA, so using 
those relationship designators in 110 fields is not correct.  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".
