Sequence Number

• Required
• An integer, unique to every story/item in the issue. The cover is assigned a Sequence of "0" and each subsequent story or item is assigned the next number up in order. Multiple covers are not assigned multiple Sequence numbers of "0", but "1", "2" etc.
• In future versions of the website/schema, this should be dealt with programatically rather than being manually entered by an indexer or editor.

(End of definition)

Future revision: Should probably add how to determine what makes a new sequence a new sequence, when to lump and when to split, reference to reprints, etc
