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.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Getting Started
Installing Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML)
1. Run the VP-UML installer after your download it.
2. Click Next on the welcome page. This will bring you to the License Agreement page.
3. Read through the license agreement. Choose I accept the agreement after you finish reading the
agreement and fully understand and accept the terms. Click Next.
4. Specify the directory for installing VP-UML. Click Next to continue.
5. Select the location for the start menu folder, under which you will find the program’s shortcut. Click Next.
6. Decide on whether to enable your system to recognize .vpp project files and .zvpl key files. If enabled, you
will be able to open the file in the appropriate application directly by double clicking it. Keep both .vpp and
.zvpl associations checked and click Next.
7. Select the edition of VP-UML you want to install. Click Next to start the file copying.
8. Once the file copying is finished, you can choose to start VP-UML immediately, or just finish the
installation without starting VP-UML. Choose the option Don't Start and click Finish. This will end the
installation of VP-UML.
Starting VP-UML
Start VP-UML from the shortcut in the Start menu. If you selected not to create an entry in the Start menu (during
the installation), you can look under the installation folder of VP-UML (the same path specified in step 4 in the
section above) and start VP-UML by running the launcher in the launcher folder.
Page 3 of 32
4. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Selecting Workspace
When you start VP-UML, you need to specify a folder for workspace. A workspace is a folder in which application
preferences, like the look-and-feel settings, are stored.
You need to select a workspace every time you start VP-UML but the workspace selected need not always be the
same. If you want to keep applying the same set of preferences, always start VP-UML with the same workspace
folder. If you are moving to a new machine and want to keep the application preferences, simply copy the
workspace folder over and choose it as workspace when starting VP-UML on the new machine. If you want a fresh
working environment, select a new folder and proceed. Now, select any folder you like and click OK to continue. In
this guide, we will choose C:Visual Paradigmvpworkspace as the workspace folder.
Importing License Key
After you select a workspace, the Key Manager will open, asking you for a valid key to 'unlock' VP-UML.
Depending on whether you own a purchased copy or an evaluation copy of VP-UML, you can get the key by
following the steps below:
For Customers
If you purchased a copy of VP-UML, you should receive our notification (Email) with an activation code. The same
activation code can also be found from the license key listed in your customer account. Copy the activation code.
Click on Input activation code and paste the copied activation code in the dialog box.
Page 4 of 32
5. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
For Evaluators
For evaluation copy of VP-UML, you can click either Try without key or Request key. Choosing Try without key
enables you to evaluate VP-UML for 10 days. To evaluate for 30 days instead, choose Request key and sign in. If
you are not our member yet, fill the Registration form to register. After you sign in and make a request, you will
receive the key file via email.
Environment

7. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Diagramming
This section will go through the steps of creating diagrams, creating entities and connecting them. In addition, you
will learn how to document entities and make diagrams more readable by using different colors in entities.
Creating Diagram
Let’s create your first diagram in VP-UML. To create a diagram (e.g. a use case diagram):
1. Right-click on the Use Case Diagram node in the Diagram Navigator.
2. Select New Use Case Diagram from the popup menu.
3. A blank use case diagram is created. You can give the diagram a name in the text box at the top left corner
of the diagram. Name the diagram Sales Order System.
Creating and Connecting Shapes
You can create shapes either through the Diagram Toolbar (which appears to the left of the diagram) or the
Resource-centric Interface. Let’s create an actor from the Diagram Toolbar for now.
1. Select Actor from the Diagram Toolbar.
2. Click on the diagram to create an actor. Name the actor Customer and press Enter to confirm editing.
If you move your mouse pointer over a shape, you will see a number of resource icons surrounding the shape. From
that shape, those icons help you create the next new shape (with connector) or create a connector to an existing
shape. Let’s create a use case from the actor above.
Page 7 of 32
8. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
1. Place your mouse pointer over the actor shape we’ve just created.
2. Press on the resource icon Association -> Use Case and drag to the right.
3. Release the mouse button. Name the use case Place Order. This will create a use case that associates with
the Customer actor.
Documenting Model Elements
Generally speaking, naming model elements alone would not suffice to describe their details. To elaborate, you can
enter additional details in the Documentation Pane. Simply go to the diagram and select the shape you want to
document. At the bottom left of the application, open the Documentation Pane and fill in the details.
In addition to textual description, voice recording is also available. If your machine supports microphone usage,
click the Record button at the bottom of the Documentation Pane. In the Record Voice window, click the red
circle button to start recording. To stop, click the button with a square inside. To save your recording, click OK.
Note Make sure your recording device is available when applying this feature.

9. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Setting Color, Line and Font Styles for Shapes
You can make your design more readable by formatting shapes differently, based on their natures. Let’s change the
color for the use case shape.
1. Right click on the use case shape and select Styles and Formatting > Formats… from the popup menu.
2. Open the Background tab in the Formats window. Select Green for color. Click OK to confirm the
change.
The use case turns green.

UML Modeling
Drawing Use Case Diagrams
A use case diagram is used to model and identify the functional requirements of a software system. In a use case
diagram, all stakeholders and system goals are identified to elaborate how the system is formed. The main elements
of a use case diagram include actor, use case and association (communication link).
An actor is any person or external system that interacts with the system to achieve a user goal (i.e. use case). The
following simple use case diagram illustrates the use cases of a sales order system. Customer, an actor, interacts with
the system to accomplish the goal of order placement, as modeled by the use case Place Order. There are other
goals that the customer wants to accomplish, such as Request Refund and Cancel Order.
Now, apply the diagramming techniques described in the previous section to draw the diagram. You can drag the
resize handler surrounding a shape to resize it. To reshape a connector, press on it and drag around to produce and
move a pivot point (which appears as a bubble).
Documenting Use Case Flow of Events [Professional Edition or above]
A use case’s name tells us the 'what' aspect of a use case – what the users need. Meanwhile, the flow of events
shows the 'how' aspect of a use case by explaining how a user’s goal can be achieved. It is a technique for analyzing
interaction between the actor and the system in accomplishing a use case. To work with the flow of events editor:
1. Right-click on a use case (e.g. Place Order) and select Open Use Case Details… from the popup menu.
2. Open the Flow of Events tab.
3. Enter the steps involved in accomplishing the Place Order use case.
Tips:
- Create a new step by pressing Enter.
- Set a step as sub-step by pressing Tab.
- Add and declare a step responded by the system
by clicking and selecting System Response
from the popup menu.
- Make use of the formatting functions (e.g. bold,
italic, etc) to format text.
4. At the bottom of the editor you can find the Extension section. An extension represents a variation of the
use case being extended. The variation may be triggered when walking through the main flow, under
certain conditions. Let’s assume the place order use case is capable in handling rush order. Right click on
step 5 where a user proceeds with buying. Select Add Extension from the popup menu.
Page 10 of 32
11. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
5. Fill in the steps required for handling rush order.
Building Glossary [Modeler Edition or above]
A glossary is a place where domain-specific vocabularies are stored and managed. And you can build a glossary by
identifying terms in a flow of events.
1. Suppose rush order is a key phrase that requires definition. Highlight it in the flow of events, right-click to
select Add “rush order” to Glossary from the pop-up menu to make it a term.
2. This opens a glossary with the term online system homepage added. Right-click on the term to select Open
Term Editor from the pop-up menu.
3. Specify its alias. In the Term Editor, click Add and enter urgent order. Add also quick order as alias.
Enter the term’s definition in the Definition section below.
Note Move your mouse pointer to the underlined term online system homepage in the Flow of Events,
the documentation of the term will appear automatically.
Page 11 of 32
12. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Drawing Sequence Diagram
A sequence diagram is used primarily to show interactions between objects that are represented as lifelines in a
sequential order. More importantly, lifelines show all of their interaction points with other objects in events. A
sequence diagram can be created by right-clicking Sequence Diagram in the Diagram Navigator and then
selecting New Sequence Diagram from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, you can create a sequence diagram as a
sub-diagram of a use case to model the interaction of that use case. Let’s see how that works.
1. Move the mouse pointer over the use case Cancel Order.
2. Click on the tiny resource icon (Sub Diagrams) at bottom right and select Add > UML Diagrams >
Sequence Diagram from the popup menu.
3. The actor Customer is created automatically. Let’s model the interaction of how customer can cancel an
order. Move the mouse pointer over the actor. Press on the Message -> LifeLine resource and drag it out.
4. Release the mouse button. Name the lifeline System, and the message login.
5. Complete the interaction by adding other messages and the Order lifeline.
Page 12 of 32
13. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Drawing Activity Diagram
An activity diagram is essentially a flowchart, showing flow of control from one activity to another. Unlike a
traditional flowchart, it can model the dynamic aspects of a system because it involves modeling the sequential steps
in a computational process. Let’s make use of activity diagram to model the registration process.
1. Create an activity diagram via the Diagram Navigator. Name the diagram Register.
2. Select Initial Node from the Diagram Toolbar. Click on the diagram to create an initial node, which
represents the beginning of a flow.
3. Press on the initial node’s resource icon Control Flow -> Action and drag it. Release the mouse button to
create an action and name it Click [Register]. This is the first action of the flow.
4. Complete the rest of the flow as shown below. The diamond shape is a decision node which leads to two
possible subsequent flows.
5. You can use a swimlane to group actions by participant. Select Horizontal Swimlane from the Diagram
Toolbar and click on the diagram to create one. Double-click on the header of the partitions to name them.
Drag the actions and other flow elements into the partitions appropriately.
Page 13 of 32
14. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Drawing Class Diagram
A class diagram models the blueprints of objects required by a system and the relationships between them. Let’s
make use of class diagram to model the domain classes of the order processing system.
1. Create a class diagram via the Diagram Navigator. When the diagram is created, you are prompted to
enter the package header. A package will be created with the entered string as name. The class diagram and
the classes in the diagram will all be contained by the package. Enter myapp.
2. Name the diagram Domain Model.
3. Select Class from the Diagram Toolbar and click on the diagram to create a class. Name the class
Payment.
4. Add attributes to the class. Right click on the class and select Add > Attribute from the popup menu.
Name it date : Date (The text after colon stands for attribute type).
You can create as many attributes as you need by pressing Enter after inputting a new entry. Add two more
attributes: total : double and remarks : String.
5. Add an operation by right clicking on the class and selecting Add > Operation from the popup menu.
Name it printPaymentDetails() : void.
6. Generalization is a kind of relationship that models the “a-kind-of” relationship among two classes. Move
the mouse over the Payment class, press on its resource icon Generalization -> Class and then drag it out.
7. Release the mouse button to create the sub-class. Name it CreditCardPayment. Create another sub-class
ChequePayment from Payment class.
Page 14 of 32
15. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
8. Add attributes to the sub-classes.
9. A class can be associated with another class. Create a class Customer. Move the mouse pointer over it and
drag out the resource icon Association -> Class. Release the mouse button and name the new class Order.
10. To edit an association, double-click on it to open the Association Editor. Enter a name for the role of the
association in the middle text box and adjust properties like multiplicity and navigability as needed.
11. Complete the diagram by creating other classes and relating them.

16. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
SysML Modeling
SysML, short for Systems Modeling Language, is a visual modeling language. SysML extends a subset of UML,
making the language more software centric, catering the modeling needs for specifying, analyzing, designing,
verifying and validating systems.
Drawing Block Definition Diagram
Block is one of the main notations in SysML. A block describes a composition of a system. Block definition
diagram, composed of blocks, describes the system hierarchy, component classification, specification and inter-
connections.
1. Let’s model the parts of a cool mist humidifier in this section. We will go back to QuickStart.vpp in the
next section. Create a new project. You can create a new project by selecting File > New Project from the
main menu.
2. Create a block definition diagram via the Diagram Navigator. Name the diagram Cool Mist Humidifier.
3. Select Block in the Diagram Toolbar and click on the diagram to create a block. Name it Cool Mist
Humidifier.
4. A cool humidifier consists of two main parts. The upper part is the water tank and the lower part is the
base. To model this, move the mouse pointer over Cool Mist Humidifier and drag out the resource icon
Part Association -> Block. Release the mouse button and name the new block Water Tank. Create another
part and name it Base.
5. Water tank composes of a handle and a spring valve, while the base composes of a fan and a switch knob
controlling the fan speed. Add the blocks and connect them with part association.
Page 16 of 32
17. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Drawing Internal Block Diagram
Internal Block Diagram describes the internal structure of a block in terms of properties and connectors between
properties. We are going to draw an internal block diagram to describe the internal structure of a cool mist
humidifier. Instead of including every little parts of a humidifier, we will just model a partial view that focuses on
the parts that control the state and fan speed. The other parts will be omitted.
1. To describe the internal structure of the cool mist humidifier, right click on the Cool Mist Humidifier block
in block diagram and select Sub Diagrams > SysML > Internal Block Diagram > Create Internal Block
Diagram from the popup menu.
2. We want to focus on the base of the cool mist humidifier, which controls the state of humidifier as well as
the amount of mist produced. Create a part for base. Select Part Property in diagram toolbar and click on
the diagram. When you do this, you are prompted to select the type of block. Check Base and click OK.
3. Name the part base.
4. Fan and switch knob are both parts of a base. Move the mouse pointer over the base property and click on
the resource New Part Property to create a part property that is contained by base.
5. When you are asked to select a block as property type, select Fan and confirm. Name the property fan.
6. Create another property named sk, with Switch Knob as type.
7. Switch knob controls the fan speed. To represent this, move the mouse pointer over sk : Switch Knob. Drag
out the resource icon Connector > Part Property and release the mouse button on fan : Fan.
8. Select Item Flow in diagram toolbar. Click at the connector between sk : Switch Knob and fan : Fan. Name
the item flow signal.

23. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
Modeling Collaboratively and Concurrently
If you work as a team and need to share your design with your teammates, or work together on the same design, you
need to make use of the team collaboration support. VP-UML supports version controlling systems like Teamwork
Server, SVN, Perforce, ClearCase and CVS. In this guide, we will cover the import of project into Teamwork
Server, and common operations like checkout, commit and update of project.
In this section, you need to simulate two persons in the same team - Peter and Stephen. They are both involved in
the Sales Order System project. Before we continue, make sure you have Teamwork Server installed. You can
download the Teamwork Server here. Installation of Teamwork Server is described in the user’s guide page here.
Share Design with Visual Paradigm Teamwork Server
Teamwork Server is a product developed by Visual Paradigm for supporting collaborative and concurrent modeling.
To share your design with others:
1. In VP-UML, select Teamwork > Open Teamwork Client… from the main menu.
2. In the Login window, keep selecting Standalone VP Teamwork Server as Server and fill in the
connection information. Click OK to proceed. You should consult your system administrator about the
login detail.
3. When the Manage Project window appears, skip it by clicking OK at the bottom of the window.
4. In the Teamwork Client window, select Project > Import Project to Repository from the main menu.
Page 23 of 32
24. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
5. In the Import Project window, keep QuickStart to be the project name. Assign other teammates to this
project and grant them with read and/or write permissions. Click OK to confirm importing.
You have now imported the project into the server, and checked it out. Stephen, your colleague, can start
working on the project you have imported.
Checkout and Open Project
No matter you are using Teamwork Server, SVN, Perforce, ClearCase or CVS, you need to checkout a project from
server and open it in order to work on it. If you are the one who imported the project into server, you do not need to
perform checkout as this was done for you right after the import. However, you still need to open the project.
Now, play the role of another team member. Take the following steps to checkout and open project.
1. Start VP-UML in a new workspace.
2. Select Teamwork > Open Teamwork Client… from the main menu.
3. In the Login window, fill in the connection information of the other member and click OK.
4. In the Manage Project window, double click on the QuickStart project. Click OK to continue.
5. At the bottom right corner of the Teamwork Client window, click Checkout, and then click Open
Project. Now, you have opened the project, and can start working on it.
Commit
Commit is the process of uploading changes done in the working copy back to server. As you, the team member,
make changes in a project, you can share your works by committing those changes to the server, and let others to
update the changes from server. (Update will be discussed in next section)
Play the role of the team member who imported the project into server. Take the following steps to try out the
commit process.
1. In Teamwork Client window, open the project you just imported to server.
2. Open the use case diagram Sales Order System.
3. Rename the use case Place Order to Buy Goods.
4. Select Teamwork > Commit… from the main menu.

25. Visual Paradigm for UML Quick Start
5. The Commit window appears. It lets you review the changes to be committed, solve conflicts (if any), and
add comments to describe the commit action. Click Commit to continue and complete the commit process.
Update
Update is the process of refreshing the working copy by merging changes that others have made and committed to
server. Let's say you are now Stephen. And you need to update the changes made by John.
1. Select Teamwork > Update… from the main menu.
2. The Update window appears. It lets you review the changes to be merged into your working copy. Open
the Model Elements tab to see the changes.

When modeling, there may be external resources you want to attach to a model which help describe it in detail or
include data that cannot be modeled, like a text document. You can do this by adding file references to models. If
you are working in a team-based environment with Teamwork Server, you do not need to copy any referenced files
for other team members to open. Instead, you could commit your model along with the referenced files to the server.
1. Open the Teamwork Files pane in the panes group at the bottom left of the user interface.
2. Drag a file to the Teamwork Files pane.
3. Click OK when you are asked to confirm putting the file to workspace. You must click OK here. If not, the
file won't be added as a teamwork file nor committed to server.
4. Select Tools > Application Options from the main menu.
5. In the Application Options window, select User Path on the left hand side.
6. On the right hand side, click Add... and select Project Files Path from the popup menu. Click OK at the
bottom of the Options window to close it.
7. Move the mouse pointer over the use case Buy Goods to show the resource icons.
8. Click on the References resource icon at the bottom left of the requirement shape and select Add File...
from the popup menu.
9. In the Use Case Specification window, click on the button ... next to the Path field.

10. Click on the shortcut Project Files Folder. Note that if you have not completed step 4 to 6, you will not see
this shortcut.
11. Select the teamwork file and click Open at the bottom right to choose it.
12. Click OK in Use Case Specification to return to the diagram.
13. Commit the changes to server. Note that the commit action will bring along the teamwork file(s) to server.
You may check it in the Commit window.

Advanced Modeling
Using Nicknamer [Standard Edition or above]
Nicknamer is a feature which helps you to present a model with labels in different languages. This is particularly
useful to multinational corporations where there’s often a need in presenting a model in multiple languages for
different regions. As localization is created on the fly when requested, there is no need to keep multiple versions for
different languages. That means you need to modify one version only if there are any changes.
1. Select View > Nicknames > Configure Nicknames… from the main menu.
2. In the Configure Nickname window, click Add User Language and select in the popup window a
language to add as nickname. E.g. Chinese (Traditional).
3. Click OK to close the popup window. Click OK again to return to the diagram. Modify the model for the
added nickname.
4. To open the English (original) version of the model. Select View > Nicknames > Original from the main
menu.

Project Referencing [Standard Edition or above]
To avoid creating the same things (e.g. a class) over and over again, it would be useful to have a generic library to
keep components for reuse. When you make any changes to the components in the library, those changes will ripple
down to where the components are actually used. In VP-UML, we call this generic library a “Reference Project.”
1. Create a new project in VP-UML. You can create a new project by selecting File > New Project from the
main menu.
2. Right click on the background of Diagram Navigator/Model Explorer and select Manage Referenced
Project from the popup menu.
3. Click Add in the Manage Referenced Projects window. Select the QuickStart project to reference to.
4. Click Close.
5. The referenced project(s) are listed in the drop down menu at the top of the Model Explorer. You can
switch between the current project and the referenced project(s) through the drop down menu to see the
elements in them.
6. Create a new class diagram. Drag and drop the classes Customer, Order and Payment from Model
Explorer to the diagram. Make sure you have selected the referenced project in the drop down menu in
Page 29 of 32

order to list the elements in it.
7. You can create elements in current project and connect them with referenced project data. Create a class
Staff in the class diagram. Associate it with the Payment class referenced.
8. Open the Diagram Navigator and scroll to the bottom. Diagrams in the referenced project are listed there.
You can double click on a diagram node to read it.
The benefit of using referenced model is to prevent your working project from becoming oversized as the
information of referenced model will not be stored. However, since the referenced model is read-only from its
source project, you cannot create a child to it. To deal with this problem, you can create mirror for parent-type
elements such as package (Right click on a referenced element and select Create Mirror Model Element). The
mirrored model element is also read-only on its properties, however, you can add a child model to it.

Impact Analysis with Matrix [Professional Edition or above]
If you were to make a change to some model elements, it would be important to know which other elements will get
affected because of it. Impact Analysis can help you with that. There are three options, Matrix, Analysis Diagram
and Chart, to choose from, depending on the scope of the analysis you need. Matrix (diagram) is a tool that helps
you identify the relationship between model elements of specific type(s), so as to study the consequence of making
certain changes. Let’s try.
1. Continue with the QuickStart project (QuickStart.vpp). Create a matrix diagram via the Diagram
Navigator, under the category of Impact Analysis.
2. You need to configure the type of elements to list in rows and columns. Let’s say you want to delete some
classes and you want to be certain that such action won’t damage the integrity of the model. Therefore, you
want to see the relationships among classes. Select Class from the list of available models. Click on the
upper and lower arrow button to make classes list in both row and column.
3. You want to see the relationships (e.g. association, dependency, etc.) among classes. Select Relationship
for By (By here means to compare row and column items by the selected criterion)
4. Click OK. This produces a matrix which lists the classes in rows and columns, showing their relationships
in cells.

Let’s say you are thinking about deleting the Payment class. From reading the matrix, you realize that the
Payment class is a super class of CreditCardPayment and ChequePayment. Deleting the super class
Payment may risk losing data. So you’d probably need to consider withdrawing the deletion or to move the
data from super class to sub class, etc.
