Hey folks,
Did you get your sandboxes up and enabled? If you hadn’t, get it done by this post.
Standardization and interoperability are key concepts behind Adobe Experience Platform. To ensure this we have XDM, schemas, datasets and mixins. Let’s understand them as
Experience Data Model (XDM) Experience Data Model (XDM) is an open-source framework that uses standard schemas to unify data for use with Experience Platform and Adobe Experience Cloud applications. XDM standardizes how data is structured and speeds up and simplifies the process of gaining insights from massive amounts of data.
Schema: A schema is a set of rules that represent and validate the structure and format of data. A schema is comprised of a class and optional field group(s) and is used to create datasets and datastreams.
Data stream: A data stream is a set or collection of messages which share the same schema and are sent by the same source.
Dataset: A dataset is a storage and management construct for a collection of data, typically a table, that contains a schema (columns) and fields (rows).
Schema field group: In Experience Data Model (XDM), a schema field group allows users to extend reusable fields to define one or more attributes intended to be included in a schema. It is mixins.
Let’s relate all of them in “what to do”
XDM is a framework on which schemas would be built for data ingestion. Actual data flow to schemas through datastreams. Schemas are rules on which the dataset would store data in form of tables.
Learn the fundamentals of XDM from this video.
Learn about creating schemas here.
Fit the datasets from here.
When and Why
We rarely eat raw on table, same is with data. Data cannot be ingested raw, it need a format, standardization and cleansing which is achieved by XDM, schemas and datasets. So, once you configure your permissions, and start making XDM and schemas, you would be coming across the questions, what behavior of customer you want to know. Like his personal, preferences or any other details. This knowledge and development of thinking will tickle the marketer in you to know your customer well!
Outcome
You should be able to see the schemas and data streams up and running. Post your dataset snapshot to get closer to winning the exclusive swag.

“Datasets can also be created using Query Service
Steps :
Thus, you can make use of existing data to generate new data as per your use case or requirement”

Great Sanjay!
As an interesting use case, as seen in the picutre below, you can build multiple datasets from the same schema. This method has pros and cons...

Another interesting find: Though there isn't mention of it in the documentation, careful with the frequency of using the Catalog Service API for creating datasets. If you attempt to create too many at once, your IP address can become blocked from that particular resource.
Hi @NimashaJain
I am trying to integrate Deliver offers using the Decisions API using Java as backend but I'm not able get the schema details for schema="https://ns.adobe.com/experience/offer-management/decision-request;version=1.0" and schema="https://ns.adobe.com/experience/offer-management/decision-response;version=1.0"
could you suggest how I can get the schema details for the above schema.
I can't find much about the integration examples using Java with Deliver offers using the Decisions API so I appreciate if you could share some reference materials.
PS: I can't use Web or Mobile sdk
