EventSeries constant

IRI for schema:EventSeries

A series of {Event}s. Included events can relate with the series using the {superEvent} property.

An EventSeries is a collection of events that share some unifying characteristic. For example, "The Olympic Games" is a series, which is repeated regularly. The "2012 London Olympics" can be presented both as an {Event} in the series "Olympic Games", and as an {EventSeries} that included a number of sporting competitions as Events.

The nature of the association between the events in an {EventSeries} can vary, but typical examples could include a thematic event series (e.g. topical meetups or classes), or a series of regular events that share a location, attendee group and/or organizers.

EventSeries has been defined as a kind of Event to make it easy for publishers to use it in an Event context without worrying about which kinds of series are really event-like enough to call an Event. In general an EventSeries may seem more Event-like when the period of time is compact and when aspects such as location are fixed, but it may also sometimes prove useful to describe a longer-term series as an Event.
