How to: Build WEM
'Build WEM' is designed to speed up the process of providing Work and Expression data for a resource, by copying Manifestation data to pre-assigned elements in Work and Expression records.
For Build WEM to function, you must enter data in this prescribed order: start with your Manifestation data, then give any Item data, then provide Work data, then finish up with Expression data.

providing acquisition and access information for the manifestation (if necessary)
Go to the Metadata about Manifestation Data section
Click on the text box for 'Composite Key' , or <Enter> past it, to
autofill that data (needed for linking other entity records to this Manifestation record)
Add a link for entities that are related to the Manifestation:
Producer/Publisher/Distributor/Manufacturer/Other PFC/Related Manifestation (check the appropriate relationship sub-elements, if any are provided under a relationship element, to see whether you have an entity that meets the criteria for relationship at this level)
