+Beam uses [windowing](#windowing) to divide a continuously updating unbounded
+`PCollection` into logical windows of finite size. These logical windows are
+determined by some characteristic associated with a data element, such as a
+**timestamp**. Aggregation transforms (such as `GroupByKey` and `Combine`) work
+on a per-window basis — as the data set is generated, they process each
+`PCollection` as a succession of these finite windows.
