It means that the tags are part of a sequence. In this example

    0054,0220  View Code Sequence:
    0008,0100  >Code Value: R-10242
    0008,0102  >Coding Scheme Designator: SNM3
    0008,0104  >Code Meaning: cranio-caudal

the Code Value, Code Scheme Designator and Code Meaning tags are in the
View Code Sequence.
