"Most object-oriented languages do not support the full scope of inheritance defined by the XML schema specification. For this reason, you should use type inheritance in schemas with care."

Hi!
XML schema allows two types of inheritance; extension and restriction.
Extension is easy to accomplish in, for instance Java, or some other OO language: Just add new fields to the subtype.
Restriction is slightly more complicated, since you cannot remove fields from a superclass in a subclass.
It is possible to override any getters and setters for a field to be removed and make them do nothing, but the field is still there.
Best wishes!
