+\section{Record types}
+
+At a first approximation, records are just a minor generalization of tuples,
+where components may be addressed by labels instead of just position.  The
+version of records offered by Isabelle/HOL is slightly more advanced, though,
+supporting \emph{extensible record schemes}.  This admits polymorphic
+operations wrt.\ record extensions, yielding ``object-oriented'' effects like
+(single) inheritance.  See also \cite{Naraschewski-Wenzel:1998:TPHOL} for more
+details on object-oriented verification and record subtyping in HOL.

+
+Records have to be defined explicitely, fixing their field names and types,
+and (optional) parent record scheme.  The theory syntax for record type
+definitions is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:HOL:record}.  For the definition of
+`typevarlist' and `type' see \iflabelundefined{chap:classical}
+{the appendix of the {\em Reference Manual\/}}%
+{Appendix~\ref{app:TheorySyntax}}.
