XML stands for Extensible Markup Language, a language developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1996. It's over two decades old but it remains the basis of many technologies today. One of its design goals is to make it easy to write programs that can read XML documents. For the most part, this has been true. However, you still need specialized knowledge to code in XML. But first, let's learn what is an XML file and how you can open it. 1. What is XML? XML is a readable language by both software and humans, staying true to one of its design goals. It's one of the most common tools for storing and transporting content over the internet. Its main purpose is to store data, as it doesn't do anything else. An XML file, therefore, contains XML code. It ends with the extension ".xml." To better give you an idea of what it is, it's comparable to HTML, a better-known markup language. They have a key difference, though. HTML describes the structure of a web page and the content. On the other hand, XML describes the structure of data. Although they're not interchangeable, they can work together. HTML…

Understanding how and when to deploy sensor technology will save time and money. Many workplace executives will make decisions this year that affect millions of dollars of capital and operating expense with little – if any – empirical data on workplace performance. Perhaps you have wondered how well your workplace performs as a function of employee engagement and believe sensors are the solution, but don't know exactly where to start. The objective of this article is to address 5 key considerations (plus one bonus!) that workplace strategists should take into account before choosing the best sensor solution for their workplace. Begin With The End In Mind Before you choose the right sensor, you need to consider the benefit or use case. Many people think big data alone presents sufficient insight, once deployed, to generate return on investment. The truth is, there are different sensors for different use cases and not every sensor is purpose–built for each use case. Some sensors are more general purpose and fit a wide variety of use cases.  Avoid being enamored by technology and focus on fit-for-purpose. Check with your sensor vendor on use cases and expected returns as part of your investment decision.  Keep It Simple Once you have identified your use case, seek the most effective technology solution. Occupancy sensor systems…
