What other forms of portfolio's can be found?

The name 'portfolio' originally comes from the two Latin terms portare (to carry) and folium (paper sheet). Nowadays however, the interpretation of a portfolio is a lot broader and I think the meaning of the word is the collection of works of a person.

I was looking for other forms of portfolio's. Is it still a portfolio or is it not?

Demo's (musicalbums):
All the numbers written by an artist (or band) in a certain time are collected on an album. Since music is audiovisual media, it is impossible for an artist to present themselves by a visual (paper) portfolio. The goal of the artist is to get a contract from a producer after he heard their demo (portfolio).

Best of - albums (musicalbums)
Succesful artists often create a 'best of-album'. Beside the fact that it's a easy way of making money. The goal of an album like this is to reach a broader crowd with the more popular songs they made.

Expositions (art):
Art is something you have to see for yourself instead of looking in a catalogue with tiny pictures. Therefore artists have expositions to present themselves to the outside world.
