For compilations, record a formal

Recording a structured description
Recording a structured description
Apply the option for video recordings. For video recordings, record authorized access points for different language expressions of a film within a manifestation for soundtracks only, not for subtitles. For streaming media, record descriptions of accessibility content in the MARC 341 field. Do not apply the option for streaming media contained within a larger database. For compilations and whole-part relationships, record each expression manifested as an Expression: authorized access point for expression, preceded by the relationship label "contains."
