On a purely practical level, don't we need an entry in the catalog

still has to fulfill the inventory function, right?
One might argue that the inventory function -- as well as ordering
and receiving, invoicing, etc. -- is related to the particular
item(s), not to the work, expression, or even the manifestation.
On the other hand, I did not mean to suggest that the aggregation was
not a manifestation and should not be included in the catalog.
