Sequence number of a document within the type of sequence named by the element to which this attribute is attached: on a <volume> element, the sequence within the volume; on an <issue> element, the sequence within the issue; on an <fpage> element, the sequence within a single page; and on an <elocation-id> element, the electronic sequence.
For journals (such as continuous-makeup journals) where more than one article can
start on a single page, this attribute can record a sequence number or letter to differentiate
one article from the other articles on the same page. For example, the first article
to start on page 62 might be given a sequence of 62a
; the sequence letter would be a
, with a sequence letter b
for a second article, etc.

| Text, numbers, or special characters | The number of the document in a sequence of documents within a volume, issue, electronic
compilation, or even on the same page. For example, for continuous-makeup journals
that start more than one article on the same page, this attribute indicates a sequence
number or letter for one of the articles, such as a, b, c; or 1, 2, 3. For example, a value of 2could mean 554-2, page 554, second article. |
