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".

Say you're cataloging an exhibition= n catalog that is legitimately entered under corporate body--e.g., a museum= . The museum put on the exhibit, published the catalog and owns all the ar= t involved. What is the appropriate relationship designator for the 100 fo= r the museum?Most exhibition catalogues of a single artist are entered under artist. We use $eartist. In the rare instance of an exhibition catalogue entered under the museum (which would be 110 not 100), we use $ehost institution in the absence of anything really appropriate. Another possibility is $eissuing body. We only use $eauthor for persons. At an IFLA meet, an European cataloguer sniffed at me and said "corporate bodies don't write books, people do". There is a certain truth to that. __ __ J.
