That is not a property, but a class. It relates to objects of type
bibo:Document = foaf:Document (which is the superclass for many BIBO
classes like Book, Letter and DocumentPart) using dcterms:hasPart.
So one could say using Turtle:
_:series1 a bibo:Series;
rdfs:label "Greatest Books belong to this series";
dcterms:hasPart oledition:OL123M,
oledition:OL124M.
where oledition is a prefix for <http://openlibrary.org/editions/> and
I disregard that we would probably want to link Works and Editions
(are they both bibo:Books? One of them? Neither?) :)
I couldn't find a suitable property in the ontologies at
http://purl.org/spar (although it has the FRBR aligned bibliographic
ontology, which may be of interest for OL for other properties). There
is http://rdvocab.info/RDARelationshipsWEMI/inSeriesWork to relate an
RDA Work to a series, but the property's range is undefined. I don't
think it is supposed to be used for Literals, though.
Perhaps it is time to create http://openlibrary.org/type/series and
let (bot) users link works or editions to series objects.
The other possibilities I see are disregarding the series information
in RDF, using a more general property like dc:relation and creating a
new property ol:series.
