The Duin / Dune series that Frank Herbert once started and on which Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson elaborate has a number of series names. It seems to me useful and a lot clearer if one series name is chosen. My proposal is to name the series as Dune / Duin.

Apparently my proposal was passed unanimously. I'll start.

Dune trilogy can be deleted and placed under Dune / Dune.
Frank Herbert once started with the Duin trilogy and has added three more books. Next comes Brian Herbert and along with Kevin Anderson he has added a Prelude / foreplay, a legends / legend and they are now working on, say, the final books that should close the series. By the way, I think this cow will continue to give milk for a long time, but that aside.
In short, you have the original Duin / Dune series of six books and a (provisionally) three series around it.
Can this be solved with series name Duin chronicles / Kronieken van Duin and then hang it as book series:
Dune / Dune
Predict to Dune / Prelude to Dune
Legends of Dune / Legends of Dune
and any other series the heirs wish to publish?
That way I get to see everything when I search for Duin.

You're right Willem, that's not going to work like that.
The problem I have now is that if I start with Frank Herbert as a search criterion, I will eventually also find Duin / Dune, but I never come across all the Predictions, Legends and other parts there. For that I have to approach the Duin / Dune series in a different way, but you just have to know or realize that.
This is different with Buck Danny, for example. When I start at Hubinon I also find Bergese by following the link of the series name.
And that makes the case for all books written by anyone and for whatever purpose about / with Duin to be included in the series “Duin saga”. When I start with Frank Herbert I also find Kevin Anderson and Brian Herbert and the parts written by them.
