Using RIMMF. Tutorial #14, Create a Work, Expression, and Manifestation from scratch (Build WEM)

In this tutorial, we are going to create a set of records (Work, Expression, and Manifestation) for a resource, when we cannot find any existing records to copy or clone.

RIMMF includes a shortcut for creating these records sets, we call it Build WEM.

Open RIMMF

Alternate: Use a pre-built folder

If you want to jump to this tutorial without doing the previous tutorials, follow the "Download Web Folder" instructions and download the following folder from our website:

If you intend to use this file to proceed through the remaining tutorials, 
  remember that it is located in your '\RIMMF3\imports\zip' folder.

Create a new record for the Manifestation

Remember that some data will be filled in for you
  by the special template that you are using.
  Title Proper:          
      The valley of song
  Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper:	
      Elizabeth Goudge
  Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper:	
      illustrated by Richard Floethe
  
  Place of Publication:  New York
  Publisher's Name:      Coward-McCann
  Date of Publication:   [1952]
  Copyright Date:        ©1951        --press <Shift><F1> to make the © 
  Mode of Issuance:      single unit
  Media Type:            unmediated
  Carrier Type:          volume
  Number of units:       281
  Type of Unit (Text):   pages
  Dimensions:            22 cm

Create a new record for the Work

Certain Work data will be autofilled for you by the Build WEM process
  from data that you provided in the Manifestation:
  - 'Preferred Title for the Work' (copied from Title Proper)
  - 'Date of Work' (copied from Date of Publication)
  - 'Source Consulted' (compiled from Title Proper and Date of Publication)
As per the Goudge article in Wikipedia
Notice that the AAP changes from Title only to Name/Title
  and RIMMF autofills a Variant Access Point
  with the Title only

Create a new record for the Expression

Certain Expression data is provided as constant data
  because of the template you chose:
  - 'Content Type': Text
  - 'Language of Expression': English

Other data will be autofilled for you by the Build WEM process
  from data that you provided in the Work or Manifestation:
  - 'Date of Expression' (copied from Date of Publication)
  - 'Authorized Access Point' 
      (compiled from the AAP of the Work + Language of Expression)
  - 'Source Consulted' 
      (compiled from Title Proper and Date of Publication)
Notice the illustrator statement;
  so we should probably add an 'Illustrator' relationship
  at the Expression level.

Notice that all of the relationship labels are correctly given
  as 'Author of'
