@makxdekkers said: > I think it might be good to distinguish between time series on one hand and slices on the other hand. In my mind, different maps covering a geographic area are more like slices than a series. But it does depend on the definition of 'series'. IMO, we should address these issues stepwise: 1. First we should agree on a general definition of dataset series, and decide which are the relevant properties 2. Then, if need be, we can specialise this notion (e.g., dataset series that are time series), and decide which additional properties should be added. About point (1), I think [the current definition](https://raw.githack.com/w3c/dxwg/dcat-dataseries-issue1272/dcat/index.html#Class:DatasetSeries) does the job: > A collection of datasets that are published separately, but share some common characteristics that groups them, and could also be made available as a single dataset. although, considering what discussed so far, it should be probably slightly revised (by dropping the last sentence): > A collection of datasets that are published separately, but share some common characteristics that groups them. About point (2), actually, we already have something specifically related to time series. Quoting from [ยง11.1 How to specify dataset series](https://raw.githack.com/w3c/dxwg/dcat-dataseries-issue1272/dcat/index.html#dataset-series-specification): > It is worth noting that a dataset series may evolve over time, by acquiring new datasets. E.g., a dataset series about yearly budget data will acquire a new child dataset every year. In such cases, it might be important to link the yearly releases with relationship specifying the previous, next, and latest ones. In such scenario, DCAT recommends [...] using the [VOCAB-ADMS] properties adms:prev, adms:next, and adms:last, respectively. @kcoyle , are these properties (at least partially) addressing your comments? Which additional metadata do you think should be added for time series? -- GitHub Notification of comment by andrea-perego Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1272#issuecomment-787201990 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
