Object Hierarchie with XML

[Andrew Layman]

A type hierarchy would use a vocabulary (schema) designed for that purpose.
Such vocabularies are not presently part of XML per se, though you can find
type-hierarchy concepts discussed in several papers, such as those at the
W3C RDF site and in a paper that I co-authored,
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-XML-data-0105/Overview.html.
