This gives me an opportunity to plug my "Practical Universal Business 
Language Deployment" PDF book:

   http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#publd-dl

... because there is a free adjunct to the book that allows the user 
to specify an XSD subset of UBL by using OpenOffice 3 spreadsheets:

   http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/sales/Crane-UBLProfile

After specifying the subset by clicking what you want and what you 
don't want and what new cardinalities you need, you can emit an HTML 
summary for review.  When you have reviewed the summary for 
appropriateness, you check a checkbox and it emits a subset XSD 
conforming to your specification.

This is the student tool that I use in the UBL classroom when I teach 
the customization of UBL (the second day of the two-day class):

The classroom handouts are derived from the book.

Purchasing details are linked through here, where you can choose an 
individual license, a geographic site staff license, or a worldwide 
staff license:

Note that the purchase of any edition of the book grants perpetual 
no-charge updates to all future editions of the book and the 
associated tool.  This is the third edition of the UBL book ... early 
customers of my XSLT book have had twelve no-charge updates over the years.

I hope this helps.
