Many documents (e.g. doctoral theses and reports) are published in a series, often with a registered ISSN. The publications within a series may be numbered consecutively. For example, this doctoral thesis, which is also the subject of a SRAP example, was published in the series "Acta Universitatis Lappeenrantaensis" as publication number 960 within that series.

Does SRAP need to cover this? If so, how should it be represented?

Simplistic solution:

:mypub dct:isPartOf :series ;
	ex:numberInSeries “123” .

:series dct:title “My Series” ;
	dct:identifier <urn:issn:xxxx-yyyy> .

...but this doesn’t allow for multiple series with different numbering.

Series Statement solution

A more advanced solution would be to define a new SeriesStatement entity that is analoguous to the 490 and 830 fields in MARC, something like this:

:mypub ex:seriesStatement :seriesStmt . 

:seriesStmt a ex:SeriesStatement ; 
	dct:title "series title" ; 
	dct:identifier <urn:issn:xxxx-yyyy> ; 
	ex:numberInSeries "42" .
