The DTD of a set of XML documents may change due to
many reasons such as changes to the real world events, changes to the
user's requirements, and mistakes in the initial design. In this paper,
we present a novel algorithm called DTD-Diff to detect the changes
to DTDs that defines the structure of a set of XML documents. Such
change detection tool can be useful in several ways such as maintenance
of XML documents, incremental maintenance of relational schema for
storing XML data, and XML schema integration. We compare DTD-
