# Class DefaultSeries

Object
AbstractMetadata
ModifiableMetadata
ISOMetadata
DefaultSeries

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Emptiable`, `LenientComparable`, `IdentifiedObject`, `Series`

public class DefaultSeries extends ISOMetadata implements Series
Information about the series, or aggregate dataset, to which a dataset belongs.

## Limitations

- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use `XML` instead.

Since:
  0.3

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### DefaultSeries

    public DefaultSeries()
    Constructs a default series.

  - ### DefaultSeries

    public DefaultSeries(CharSequence name)
    Constructs a series with the specified name.
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the series of which the dataset is a part, or `null`.

  - ### DefaultSeries

    public DefaultSeries(Series object)
    Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.
    See Also:
      - `castOrCopy(Series)`

- ## Method Details

  - ### castOrCopy

    public static DefaultSeries castOrCopy(Series object)
    Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
    - If the given object is `null`, then this method returns `null`.
    - Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of `DefaultSeries`, then it is returned unchanged.
    - Otherwise a new `DefaultSeries` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or `null` if none.
    Returns:
      a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or `null` if the argument was null.

  - ### getName

    public InternationalString getName()
    Returns the name of the series, or aggregate dataset, of which the dataset is a part.
    Specified by:
      `getName` in interface `Series`
    Returns:
      the name of the series or aggregate dataset, or `null`.

  - ### setName

    public void setName(InternationalString newValue)
    Sets the name of the series, or aggregate dataset, of which the dataset is a part.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - the new name, or `null` if none.

  - ### getIssueIdentification

    public String getIssueIdentification()
    Returns information identifying the issue of the series.
    Upcoming API change — generalization
    As of ISO 19115:2014, `String` is replaced by the `InternationalString` interface. This change will be tentatively applied in GeoAPI 4.0.
    Specified by:
      `getIssueIdentification` in interface `Series`
    Returns:
      information identifying the issue of the series, or `null`.

  - ### setIssueIdentification

    public void setIssueIdentification(String newValue)
    Sets information identifying the issue of the series.
    Upcoming API change — generalization
    As of ISO 19115:2014, `String` is replaced by the `InternationalString` interface. This change will be tentatively applied in GeoAPI 4.0.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - the new issue identification, or `null` if none.

  - ### getPage

    public String getPage()
    Returns details on which pages of the publication the article was published.
    Upcoming API change — generalization
    As of ISO 19115:2014, `String` is replaced by the `InternationalString` interface. This change will be tentatively applied in GeoAPI 4.0.
    Specified by:
      `getPage` in interface `Series`
    Returns:
      details on which pages of the publication the article was published, or `null`.

    public void setPage(String newValue)
    Sets details on which pages of the publication the article was published.
    Upcoming API change — generalization
    As of ISO 19115:2014, `String` is replaced by the `InternationalString` interface. This change will be tentatively applied in GeoAPI 4.0.
