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.

Deconstructing Windows Live: A look at each of the services and tools
Instant messaging
Instant messaging
Windows Live Messenger is one of our customers’ favorite ways to stay
in touch with their contacts. Messenger is inherently a social experience.
It’s all about people, connections, and interactions. That’s why we’ve
introduced several new, socially oriented features in this release,
including rich photo integration, enhanced group facilitation, increased
personalization, and improved access to updates from your network.
Messenger is personal
The latest release of Messenger not only includes a
completely new look and feel, but it’s also designed to
let our customers make it their own. You can personalize
nearly everything. It is easy to change your profile
picture, the background scene, and your status messages
whenever you like. Not only can you personalize your
display picture with your own photos, but you can also
create a dynamic avatar or even record a short video.
For more fun, you can create multiple display pictures,
which we call “moods,” and alter what your contacts
see by the emoticons you use in your conversations.
If you want to send your happy display picture, just
type into the conversation, and your mood will
change automatically.
In response to one of the most frequent requests from
our customers about our previous release, you can now
easily include hyperlinks in your personal status message.
You can also designate your own signature sound—
a tone that contacts hear when you start a conversation,
and you can assign unique sounds to the people in
your contact list.
Messenger is social
Like most Windows Live™ services, Messenger includes to chat when sharing your photos and memories with
integrated access to the what’s new feed, so you can your contacts. Photo sharing also includes drag-and-
