Until GeoDCAT-AP 2, dataset series were typed (rdf:type) as dcat:Dataset's.
For more details, see the GeoDCAT-AP 2 specification (in particular, §B.6.3).
Proposal
To be aligned with DCAT-AP 3 and DCAT 3, GeoDCAT-AP 3 should deprecate the use of class dcat:Dataset for dataset series, and replace it with class dcat:DatasetSeries.
Problem statement
Following DCAT 3. DCAT-AP 3 introduces a new class
dcat:DatasetSeries
.This class corresponds to the ISO 19115 / INSPIRE notion of "data set series":
