The work going into a collection may only be copyrightable in certain
jurisdictions (i.e. Europe).
In the US, if the material is public domain, than an indexed collection of
such work is also public domain. This was ruled on, with regard to a
records of court proceeding I believe.
There is debate as to whether the selection criteria may add some element
of copyright, but I would assume not in the US.
Original analysis is of course copyright the author, presumably even if it
was produced using a computer. It is original material, not effort that
copyright concerns itself with.
