Depends on how you combine them.  If you just put the files next to
each other on the hard drive, that's a collective database/work.  If
you combine them into a single database, that's a derivative database
/ derivative work.

ODbL is quite explicit about that.  "Extracting or Re-utilising the
whole or a Substantial part of the Contents in a new Database" makes a
Derivative Database, not a Collective Database.
