@Jitendra: Examples using the link tag, no, but then I don't do a lot of "view source". :-) But a series would be (for instance) an article that is divided into pages (like PCMag, Tom's Hardware, etc. does with their reviews, to maximize ad rotation and avoid any individual page being too big). The first page would have a `link rel="next"` referencing page 2, etc. Slideshows might do the same thing. A blog post could be considered part of a series. You get the idea.

@Jitendra: Tom's Hardware doesn't seem to use the series feature, but apparently they use `stylesheet`, `alternate` (referencing their RSS feed), and `search`: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Monitors-Displays,review-29797.html
