Database Rights
Database rights are a form of property right that can be associated with computer databases. Since database rights typically expire after 15 years, no known country would recognize database rights covering the ASV.
Because the compiler of the WEB lives in the United States, which does not currently recognize database rights, the WEB is not covered by any database rights. For the same reason, the GEV is not covered by any database rights.
