“co”
- Co-Production typically indicates a production team of two or more artists, a song-writing team, a musician and engineer, an engineer and producer, or a producer and artist.
“executive”
- Executive Production indicates an artist who has been given creative control over the recording and production of the music.

They may also provide financial backing for the project.
Guidelines
- Do not infer attributes.
- Though it may seem logical that, if a work has two or more producers, they are co-producers, this is incorrect. Producer, Additional Producer, Associate Producer, Co-producer, and Executive Producer are five distinct job titles. If a release has two people credited as "Producer", then they each held the Producer title, not the Co-producer title. The same is true for "additional", "associate", and "executive". Inferred attributes for this relationship type can only result in incorrect relationships. Therefore, credit the relationship only as it appears on the liner, without interpretation.
- The presence of any relationship type from this class does not imply that the producer also is then valid for a Producer Position Relationship Type relationship with the label that released the recording or release, nor are any of these relationship types implied by there being an producer at the releasing label at the time the release was recorded or released.
