Almost always it's possible to transform XSD into RNC. I have set up
myself a tool-chain for doing it using java, rngconv, trang and the
following shell script:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# = 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: rnc /path/to/XSD/schema/to/convert/to/RNC"
    exit 1
fi
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
    echo "No such file: $1"
    exit 2
fi

DIR=`echo $0 | sed -e "s/[^/]*$//"`
FILE="$DIR../`echo $1 | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' | cut -d. -f1`.rnc"

if [ -f $FILE ]; then
    echo "ERROR: File exists: $FILE"
    exit 3
fi

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$DIR

java -jar $DIR/rngconv.jar $1 > $DIR/fifo | java -jar $DIR/trang.jar -
I rng -O rnc $DIR/fifo $FILE

if [ -f $FILE ]; then
    echo "OK: New RNC schema saved as $FILE"
else
    echo "ERROR: Errors found, see stderr for details"
fi

--- cut here: end --------------------------------------

If you put this together with all the java dependencies in a directory
~/rnc/conv, you can execute it from anywhere inside your filesystem
and you get the converted schema in ~/rnc.

Good luck :)
