Normally, child datasets in dataset series are represented as dcat:Dataset. The use of dcat:Distribution for typing child datasets is however recognized as a possible alternative, whenever it addresses more effectively the requirements of a given application scenario.

How to specify dataset series

DCAT makes dataset series first class citizens of data catalogs by minting a new class dcat:DatasetSeries, defined as subclass of dcat:Dataset. The dataset series and the child datasets are linked by using the [[DCTERMS]] property dcterms:hasPart and/or its inverse dcterms:isPartOf. Note that a dataset series can also be the child of another dataset series.

Dataset series in existing DCAT implementations
The dataset series is typed as a dcat:Dataset, whereas its child datasets are typed as dcat:Distribution's.

Both the dataset series and its child datasets are typed as a dcat:Dataset's, and the two are usually linked by using the [[DCTERMS]] properties dcterms:hasPart / dcterms:isPartOf.

Both the dataset series and its child datasets are typed as a dcat:Dataset's, and the two are usually linked by using the [[DCTERMS]] properties dcat:hasSeriesMember / dcat:inSeries.
In both cases, the dataset series is sometimes soft-typed by using the [[DCTERMS]] property dcterms:type (e.g., this is the approach used in [[GeoDCAT-AP]], and adopted in [[DCAT-AP-IT]] and [[GeoDCAT-AP-IT]]).
