The following example shows a schema, Myschama2.xsd, with elements specified by the Myschama1.xsd. The pname type is redefined. According to this schema, elements constrained by the pname type must end with a "country" element:

Myschema1.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:complexType name="pname">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="firstname"/>
    <xs:element name="lastname"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

<xs:element name="customer" type="pname"/>

</xs:schema>

Myschema2.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:redefine schemaLocation="Myschema1.xsd">
  <xs:complexType name="pname">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="pname">
        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="country"/>
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:redefine>
