Yes, if the selection, coordination or arrangement is creative and original. Although facts are not protected by copyright, copyright may be claimed in the selection and arrangement of them, provided it is sufficiently creative and original. Copyright cannot be claimed in a selection and arrangement that is too obvious to be creative and original. For example, a telephone directory that lists people and their telephone numbers in alphabetical order would not be sufficiently creative and original to receive copyright protection. A selection of “the 10 most influential philosophers in Western civilization,” on the other hand, probably would receive copyright protection because it is not obvious which philosophers to include. That requires some creative thinking. If they are not arranged in alphabetical or chronological order, then the arrangement of entries about each selected philosopher might also be protected by copyright.
