In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

1. EcoWearables: Fostering environmental awareness and sensible decision making for a more sustainable future >>Solomon Bisker >>Zijian Li >>MAS.551 - Design Without Boundaries, Fall 2007
3. We decided to tackle two complementary questions… Firstly, how do we create personal awareness of the impact ones daily decisions make on the environment?
4. And secondly, how can we initiate group learning about sustainable living?
10. RFID or Wireless Receiver LEDs Embedded in Band EcoWearables let you show off your environmental impact everywhere you go
11. Water Electricity Participation With EcoWearables, your impact on the world is measured … … aggregated … … and combined to find your “ ecoscore ”… … which is downloaded to your wearable accessories…
14. concept shot in a club wearing energy bracelets on a weekend. ...just in time for you to make your big impression
15. Your Ecoscore could reflect… *your ability to use less energy than your peers *your personal improvement over previous energy usage *your resourcefulness in making sustainable decisions (using public transport, sharing rides, the like) We view such wearable electronics as an evolution of the Livestrong campaign (selling bracelets to raise funds for cancer victims), whose popularity swept across the US. ( (
16. EcoWearables serve as positive reinforcement of the environmental impact we can all make as individuals. They aim to inspiring pride and friendly competition amongst those who wear them.
18. … can we use public spaces to allow for group experiences? Much has been made of using computing in public spaces to share information. However, instead of using standard “broadcast” LCDs to create isolated experiences …
19. RFID or Wireless Receiver Band embedded on one side with LED Band with personal barcode printed on other side We double our wearable accessories as personal identifiers … … this allows ties between viewers and people Clasp for easy reversal of the band
20. Bracelet barcode-side out camera array With this technology, as a user approaches or touches the screen, his barcode is read by a set of cameras attached to its frame… “ Logging in Solomon…” … the end result being, the system can adapt to whoever owns the EcoWearable without further login. We ask, what opportunities does such a platform create for creating interactive experiences with shared displays ?

25. participation in shared experiences combined with environmental impact as gauged by personal statistics… … leads to change in bracelet over time… … which then encourages further participation Some examples of such feedback points: *updating EarthViz by revisiting it with your new statistics *recognition and privileges as a more valued/trusted member of EarthSwap community *understanding your environmental impact as a GroupShare user encourages you to keep using it
26. EcoWearables serve as a technological platform for unobtrusive, privacy-aware personal identification. They allow their wearers to participate in shared experiences that can reinforce environmental thinking in their daily lives.
29. EcoWearables as a sensor network and a platform for introspection - chemical sensors on the bracelet could detect air pollution levels and dim brightness in response
30. invisible tattoo is printed with signal-sensitive ink We also looked a step further to the body itself as a way to reflect your environmental impact…
31. Each time you, say, take a bus or log in the ride-share system, a signal will be emitted that will “tan” your tattoo for a while, rendering it more visible.
