Why do you need to compare a DFDL xsd with a non-DFDL xsd? Are you trying to find out whether the DFDL xsd is up to date?

I think the comparison is more about a file xsd (Biztalk) and its corresponding DFDL.

and why would you be updating the xsd and not the DFDL xsd ?... you do not need to maintain both. You don't even need to have both, you can use the DFDL xsd where you are using the xsd.

One possible reason is that the xsd is generated by ( exported from ) some other application.

One solution is to treat the xsds as XML ( which they are, of course ) and use an XML comparison program. You will need to strip all of the annotations from both xsds first - that's easy enough using some xsl.
Another solution would be to introduce dire penalties for people who change the xsd in an uncontrolled way. But I expect you have already ruled out that option on the grounds that it is unenforceable.

btw, I would like to know how you manage to keep the original XSD and the DFDL xsd with an identical structure. That suggests that you have complete control over the non-XML format that the DFDL schema is producing. Are you transforming the incoming XML to ( say ) CSV for internal transmission?

And one shouldn't simply regenerate the DFDL ?

Now that would mean that the OP has a program that generates the DFDL given the xsd...

You could then diff the resulting DFDL with the current one...

Of course if you do that by hand... happy comparing...

One could do a diff on the current/previous XSD itself, and then modify/update the DFDL based on that result.

Hopefully all this is in source control and available....

Yes, I thought of that. But I suspect that the OP is trying to build a BAR file, and wants to check that the DFDL schema and the source xsd are consistent.
In which case, it may be difficult to define 'current version' and 'previous version' in a meaningful way.
