I solved this problem like this. Not sure if it's the best approach,
but it worked for me.

class Mesh
{
        int data;	
};

class BinaryMesh : public Mesh
{
        template<class Archive>
        void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version);
}

class XMLMesh : public Mesh
{
        template<class Archive>
        void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version);
}

class TextMesh : public Mesh
{
        template<class Archive>
        void serialize(Archive& ar, const unsigned int version);
}
