Moreover, the FacetType SentinelValues is explained in the datastructure representation diagram (see 5.3.2.2), since it only concerns DataStructureDefinitions.

343 343  The Representation is composed of Facets, each of which conveys characteristic information related to the definition of a value domain. Often a set of Facets are needed to convey the required semantic. For example, a sequence is defined by a minimum of two Facets: one to define the start value, and one to define the interval.

347 347  |(% style="width:107px" %)isSequence|(% style="width:872px" %)The isSequence facet indicates whether the values are intended to be ordered, and it may work in combination with the interval, startValue,and endValue facet or the timeInterval, startTime, and endTime, facets. If this attribute holds a value of true, a start value or time and a numeric or time interval must be supplied. If an end value is not given, then the sequence continues indefinitely.
348 348  |(% style="width:107px" %)interval|(% style="width:872px" %)The interval attribute specifies the permitted interval (increment) in a sequence. In order for this to be used, the isSequence attribute must have a value of true.
349 349  |(% style="width:107px" %)startValue|(% style="width:872px" %)The startValue facet is used in conjunction with the isSequence and interval facets (which must be set in order to use this facet). This facet isused for a numeric sequence and indicates the starting point of the sequence. This value is mandatory for a numeric sequence to be expressed.
