How do define sequencing rules in imsmanifest file for SCORM 2004 2nd Edition

Everywhere I find example for the SCORM 2004 3rd Edition. Actually the LMS that we use only support 2nd Edition. Is there a place where I can find the sequencing tags to be defined in imsmanifest file for 2nd Edition. Or is there any difference at all between 2nd and 3rdEdition

Solution

The main thing that 3rd Edition included that is not in 2nd Edition is a set of UI requirements for LMS's to implement. Most of stuff you see in 3rd Edition examples should apply to 2nd Edition as well, but in 2nd Edition you are going to see more implementation variation across LMS's.
