Usage may be different, but the data is the same: ways with an
hypothetical 'speed' attribute added to them in the persistent database
of your choice. Whether you use that joined data to perform Dijkstra
stunts or just render it graphically does not change its nature. In
either case, no Openstreetmap data is altered in any way - only extended
thus meeting the definition of a Collective Database.
To give a counter-example, if the speed data was used to guess
maxspeed=* or change some of the highway=* classification according to
detected speeds, then Openstreetmap data would be altered and there
would be a Derivative Database.
