Standalone book, followed by series

I'm toying with the idea of writing a single standalone book and then later follow it with a series, in the same world with some of the same characters.
Are there any examples of this? I couldn't think of any.
Also, is this a good idea? Any major detractors to doing this?

The Rama series by Arthur Clarke would fit that bill. the first book was very hard scifi, basically a history book, and books 2 to 4 were a trilogy about a specific family and their travails.
