I think if you use "Contains (expression)" that should be sufficient. If it contains the expression, by definition it also contains the work (since the expression expresses the work).
Examples of situations where you're relating to the *work* might be some derivative relationships. The film "Doctor Zhivago" was based on the *work* that was the novel by Boris Pasternak. Kevin M.

You can tell whether it is a work or an expression by the heading (authorized access point). If the heading has elements for an expression such as a language, it contains an expression (with the second indicator 2). Otherwise, it contains a work. My interpretation of RDA Appendix I.1, guidelines for using relationship designators. Anyway, more work is always good :) Thanks, Joan Wang Illinois Heartland Library System -- Zhonghong (Joan) Wang, Ph.D. Cataloger -- CMC Illinois Heartland Library System (Edwardsville Office) 6725 Goshen Road Edwardsville, IL 62025 618.656.3216x409<tel:618.656.3216x409> 618.656.9401Fax -- Zhonghong (Joan) Wang, Ph.D. Cataloger -- CMC Illinois Heartland Library System (Edwardsville Office) 6725 Goshen Road Edwardsville, IL 62025 618.656.3216x409<tel:618.656.3216x409> 618.656.9401Fax -- Zhonghong (Joan) Wang, Ph.D. Cataloger -- CMC Illinois Heartland Library System (Edwardsville Office) 6725 Goshen Road Edwardsville, IL 62025 618.656.3216x409<tel:618.656.3216x409> 618.656.9401Fax -- Zhonghong (Joan) Wang, Ph.D. Cataloger -- CMC Illinois Heartland Library System (Edwardsville Office) 6725 Goshen Road Edwardsville, IL 62025 618.656.3216x409 618.656.9401Fax
