What if there are two processes run on a city extract - one is a "SELECT * FROM planet_osm_point WHERE shop IS NOT NULL", and the other is a yellow pages operator geocoding all their proprietary shop information with OSM and storing the results in their proprietary database. Let's assume for a moment that both were to result in an almost identical database, give or take a few mismatches. The first would clearly be a derived database - no matter for what purpose the SELECT command was issued. And the second - because it was made "with the purpose of geocoding" - would not be a derived database but a produced work. Is that what you are saying? Because if it is, it seems to require a *lot* more explanation because it doesn't sound very convincing to me.
