To me, it has to do with the phrases "known by" and "resources embodying that compilation or in reference sources"; these imply that the compilation as a work in its own right has been around for awhile, and with that particular title.

YMMV, of course.

I don't understand why "new collections published for the first time probably wouldn't." Could you elaborate?

"Those who need structured and granular data and the precise retrieval that results 
from it to carry out research and scholarship may constitute an elite minority rather 
than most of the people of the world (sadly), but that talented and intelligent minority 
is an important one for the cultural and technological advancement of humanity. It is 
even possible that if we did a better job of providing access to such data, we might 
enable the enlargement of that minority."
