Collection of datasets that share the same product specification [ISO 19115:2003]

Members have different spatial extent (e.g. map sheets, ortho-images, regional data sets)
Members have different temporal extent (time series)
Members have different thematic scope – the series represents a theme
e.g. different object types of an INSPIRE theme
not strictly a series according to ISO definition
