Re: [dxwg] A separate class for DatasetSeries (?) (#1272)

@andrea-perego Thanks again. Because irregular periodicity is very complex it is probably best to wait until there is a concrete use case by someone employing DCAT. Solving it will be a misery akin to the versioning problem. Perhaps it can sit in the background until needed.

The section you refer to is quite complete. I do note that it says that items in a series are a subset:

> A dataset series can be seen as the result of subsetting (or slicing) a single dataset based on the values of one or more metadata element.

Which is different to the definition above:

> Dataset series are defined in [ISO-19115] as a collection of datasets […] sharing common characteristics.

This implies to me that the dataset series that @riannella is working with is not precisely the result of subsetting but instead can by formed by collecting. It also appears to me that @dr-shorthair 's example may not result from subsetting based on values. Perhaps the definition in the draft needs to include datasets created separately but that form a coherent collection. That is, if one considers these both as a series in spite of the difference in their creation.
