objectType DataCollection

extends VOResource:Resource

A logical grouping of data which, in general, is composed of one or more accessible datasets. A collection can contain any combination of images, spectra, catalogues, or other data. (A dataset is a collection of digitally-encoded data that is normally accessible as a single unit, e.g., a file.) This type is deprecated. Resource record authors should use vs:CatalogResource instead. This type will be removed from the schema when no resource record using it remains in the registry.
