These segments are centrally configured and maintained on Platform, making them readily accessible by any Adobe application.

Segments can be based on record data (such as demographic information) or time series events representing customer interactions with your brand.

Experience Data Model (XDM) System xdm

Standardization and interoperability are key concepts behind Experience Platform. Experience Data Model (XDM), driven by Adobe, is an effort to standardize customer experience data and define schemas for customer experience management.

XDM is a publicly documented specification designed to improve the power of digital experiences. It provides common structures and definitions for any application to communicate with services on Adobe Experience Platform. By adhering to XDM standards, all customer experience data can be incorporated into a common representation delivering insights in a faster, more integrated way. You can gain valuable insights from customer actions, define customer audiences through segments, and use customer attributes for personalization purposes.

New features

Feature
Description
Improved schema validation
New checks to ensure that references resolve into additional fields as expected. Added additional checks to fields defined as an array of objects to make sure the objects are fully defined. Improved error messages to help identify and fix problems.

Bug fixes

  • Maintenance and improvements related to access control and sandboxes.
  • Support for eTag for the /descriptors endpoint in the Schema Registry API.

Known issues

  • None

To learn more about working with XDM using the Schema Registry API and Schema Editor user interface, please read the XDM System documentation.
