Term information
editor note
2014-05-05: Data sets are aggregates and thus must include two or more data items. We have chosen not to add logical axioms to make this restriction.

example of usage
Intensity values in a CEL file or from multiple CEL files comprise a data set (as opposed to the CEL files themselves).
