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 which 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 “ 2 ” could mean “ 554-2 ”, page 554, second article. |
