Local Attributes (defined for this element alone)
Description
This attribute contains a number that indicates the preferred position of this affiliation among a set of affiliations. The first affiliation must have the value "1", there must not be any duplicate values in other affiliations in the set, and there should be no gaps in the sequence. The actual order of the elements should reflect the sequence values as in the following example:
<affiliations>
<affiliation seq="1">...</affiliation>
<affiliation seq="2">...</affiliation>
<affiliation seq="3">...</affiliation>
</affiliations>
However, this attribute is not required. If it is not used in one element, it should not be used in any of them, and in this case the sequence is implied by the order of the elements.
Specification
