Hi,

I'm curious to know what the conventional way of expressing ordered (i.e., 
numerically sequential) relationships between FC objects is. A typical use case 
here is a 24-page newspaper issue, where the 'issue'-level object has no page 
image datastreams but its RELS-EXT datastream points to (using a hasPart 
assetion) all 24 'page'-level objects (which each have TIFF, JPG, thumbnail, 
and text transcript datastreams). Each page object's RELS-EXT datastream points 
to the parent issue object with a isPartOf assertion.

In METS, structMap div elements use the ORDER attribute to indicate sequence 
(for example of the pages in a newspaper issue). Unless I am missing something, 
the Fedora relationship ontology doesn't express sequence in relationships such 
as hasPart, and I can't find any reference to order in the FOXML schema or 
examples. 

If anyone can point me to some examples or documentation I've missed, I'd 
appreciate it.
