It sounds like people are only talking about a single type of series,
but I think there's more under the surface than this.

Freebase models (at least) two different types of series:

http://www.freebase.com/view/book/literary_series
http://www.freebase.com/view/book/book_edition_series

The later is for editions, as its name implies, as opposed to works,
so the series are typically put together by publishers as opposed to
authors.  I think it's useful to be able to model both types of series
(Harlequin Romance #1347 would probably belong to the latter type).

There's also http://www.freebase.com/view/comic_books/comic_book_series
since comic books tend to be modeled differently than traditional
literary works.

All types allow for modeling hierarchy of series so that you can
describe super/sub-series.

p.s. ISFD also has both Series and Publication Series e.g.
