A database that is "based upon the Database, and includes any 
translation, adaptation, arrangement, modification, or any other 
alteration of the Database or of a Substantial part of the Contents" is 
a derivative database. This doesn't exclude databases where the items in 
the database are produced works, e.g. a database of geocoding results.

If you are extracting insubstantial parts of the database (keeping in 
mind that repeated insubstantial can be substantial) than the ODbL 
imposes no requirements, not share-alike nor attribution.
