I think I'd resist the urge to go too complicated.
I don't doubt that there might be some cases where there is a difference between the publisher and the manufacturer, but the publisher is the important bit of information. The name of the factory who pressed the discs is not.
The same could be said for retailer/distributor. In fact, I'm not entirely sure these are needed. Some albums are sold by numerous retailers (e.g. CDJapan, Cocoebiz, Animenation, and any number of Japaense retailers we know nothing about), so I suggest ditching that. If there's one distributor, then maybe that's worth including.
The organization types looks pretty complete. I think there might be one more to add that contains this "messe sanoh" or "sofmap" designation. To be honest, I don't know what they are, or how those 2 companies play a role in the whole process of providing enclosure CDs, but they are prevalent enough to be included (and this might reverse what I said above.)
