I may be wrong, but based on my brief look into this, I think of 
expressions as relating to events; particularly performances.  So in my 
previous example, a speech is a work, its performance is an expression, 
and anything derived from that is a manifestation.  The same would 
apply for a play or a musical performance of a Beethoven Symphony, both 
of which could conceivably end up in a movie database.

How's that?

It's fair, I would assume, to have a record that consists of only a 
work and its manifestation.  Am I wrong?
