Megan Crawcour completed a packaging design project in 2007 for her Diploma in Packaging Technology that focused on making an existing product more environmentally friendly. She redesigned the primary and secondary packaging to reduce the number of materials from seven to three, lightweighted materials, selected less energy intensive ones, and allowed for flat folding and space savings during transport. The redesigned packaging would also utilize less landfill space at end of life. Megan's project was nominated as a finalist for the regional Student Gold Pack Awards and she received a certificate and runner-up recognition at the ceremony.

Redesign a pack to an environmentally friendlier packMegan Rose
The document summarizes a student project to redesign an existing product's packaging to be more environmentally friendly. The redesign reduced the number of materials in the primary package from seven to three and made the materials lighter. It also selected less energy-intensive materials. Additionally, the new design allowed for flat folding of cartons to reduce transport costs compared to the existing non-nestable pack. The redesigned secondary package also included recycled corrugated liners. An adapted Walmart scorecard was used to evaluate how the new design made the packaging more environmentally friendly.

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.
