<p class="MsoNormal">Of note is the use of these fields specifically for works or expressions but not manifestations. I think it would be incredibly useful for manifestation level description. For example, we will be cataloging a collection of bindings by
women in the near future and could foresee using the 386. Does anyone know why these terms were limited to describing works and expressions?
