Oh. Maybe you're trying to catalog the separate novels in omnibus as inclusions? That makes some amount of sense... But in that case, what should happen to a short story that's included in a collection, and also bound on its own (very small)?
And I'm so not doing anything with anthologies until we get a better works/authors system.

A lot of these questions either don't have a right-or-wrong anser, OR somebody's going to come along and combine/separate things anyway. C'est la vie.
