RDA Chapters 6.27 to 6.31 cover all the elements that are used for authorized access points for works. The authorized access points use only elements that are attributes for entities (such as preferred title, form of work, date of work, etc.). A person's name is often part of the authorized point for the work, but once added to create the access point the whole string is used to identify only the work entity.
A relationship designator is an element that is used between two entities, such as between a person and a work. One would therefore have a relationship between two entities expressed in this way: Snyder, Maria V. <author> of work: Snyder, Maria V. Healer series with the full exact string "Snyder, Maria V. Healer series" standing in as the controlled identifier of the work.
