ODRL uses _identification_ as the mechanism to determine which
asset you are describing Rights for (be it a Work, Expression,
Manifestation or Item - the IFLA model). ODRL does not care
_how_ you describe those assets.

If you read ODRL you will see that it supports this notion
of "Everything's connected" thru the identification of the Asset
and the Parties. (It follows the <indecs> principles)
