As I understand this thread, there is already an industry standard base
schema that is about 300 pages long.

The question is, what is the exact mechanism that you use to derive a
customized schema in such a way that a document that conforms to the
customized schema will parse and validate against the base schema.

Thanks,

The standard solution for that is to have everyone agree on a base schema
for Car and derive their customized CompanyXCars from that. Then
CompanyXCar will be an instance of the shared Car and everything just
works.

If you can't get that agreement...  you may be stuck with transcoding the
documents from their source schema into your desired schema before
operating on them.
