RTCDP MP24 Module 1: Data Architecture

 

In this week's module, we will explore the Data Architecture section, which encompasses a variety of important topics. This section is extensive, but I will quickly highlight the main topics and provide links to relevant documentation. I have re organised the link by logical order of going thru these section.

I plan to create a short video and share it with you tomorrow.

 

Here are the key topics we will cover:

 

  • Real-Time Customer Profile Overview

Adobe Experience Platform enables you to drive coordinated, consistent, and relevant experiences for your customers no matter where or when they interact with your brand. With Real-Time Customer Profile, you can see a holistic view of each individual customer by combining data from multiple channels, including online, offline, CRM, and third party. Profile allows you to consolidate your customer data into a unified view offering an actionable, timestamped account of every customer interaction.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/profile/home

 

Real-Time Customer Profile provides a centralized consumer profile for targeted and personalized experience management. Each profile contains data that is aggregated across all systems and include actionable timestamped accounts of events that involve the profile subject. These events may have taken place in any of the systems you use with Experience Platform.

Real-Time Customer Profile consumes schema-formatted data based on the XDM Individual Profile and XDM ExperienceEvent classes, and responds to queries based on that data.

 

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/home#real-time-customer-profile

 

  • Converting your data model to XDM

This sections is all about taking existing transactional data model and convert it to an Experience Data Model. It shows the difference in modeling approaches using entity-relationship diagrams

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/schema/best-practices

 

  • XDM ExperienceEvent class

XDM ExperienceEvent is a standard Experience Data Model (XDM) class. Use this class to create a timestamped snapshot of the system when a specific event occurs, or a particular set of conditions has been reached.

An Experience Event is a fact record of what occurred, including the point in time and identity of the individual involved. Events can be either explicit (directly observable human actions) or implicit (raised without a direct human action) and are recorded without aggregation or interpretation. For more high-level information on using this class in the Platform ecosystem

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/home#xdm-experience-event

 

  • Defining XDM fields in the UI

The Schema Editor in the Adobe Experience Platform user interface allows you to define your own fields within custom Experience Data Model (XDM) classes and schema field groups. This guide covers the steps for defining XDM fields in the UI, including the available configuration options for each field type.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/ui/fields/overview

 

  • Defining a one-to-one relationship between two schemas using the Schema Editor

The ability to understand the relationships between your customers and their interactions with your brand across various channels is an integral part of the Adobe Experience Platform. Defining these relationships within the structure of your Experience Data Model (XDM) schemas allows you to gain complex insights into your customer data.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/tutorials/relationship-ui

 

  • Consents and Preferences field group

Consents and Preferences is a standard field group for the XDM Individual Profile class that captures consent and preference information for an individual customer.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/field-groups/profile/consents

 

  • Schema field groups endpoint

Schema field groups are reusable components that define one or more fields that represent a particular concept, such as a person, a mailing address, or a web browser environment. Field groups are intended to be included as part of a schema that implements a compatible class, depending on the behavior of the data they represent (record or time series). The /fieldgroups endpoint in the Schema Registry API allows you to manage field groups within your experience application programmatically.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/api/field-groups

 

  • Best practices for data modeling

Experience Data Model (XDM) is the core framework that standardizes customer experience data by providing common structures and definitions for use in downstream Adobe Experience Platform services. By adhering to XDM standards, all customer experience data can be incorporated into a common representation and used to gain valuable insights from customer actions, define customer audiences, and express customer attributes for personalization purposes.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/xdm/schema/best-practices

 

  • Working with nested data structures in Query Service

Adobe Experience Platform Query Service supports the use of nested data fields. The complexity of enterprise data structures can complicate transforming or processing this data. This document provides examples of creating, processing or transforming datasets with complex data types, including nested data structures.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/query/key-concepts/nested-data-struct...

 

  • Creating an Adobe Analytics source connection in the UI

How to create an Adobe Analytics source connection in the UI to bring the Adobe Analytics report suite data into the Adobe Experience Platform.
