How ISO Does It

The ISO AggregateInformation object provides a powerful mechanism for grouping multiple metadata records into sets based on a number of relationships described by the AssociationType and InitiativeTypeCodes. Note that the sets are identified by MD_Identifiers which suggests that they could have metadata records of their own.
