Set up Data Resources
Before you can offer your data in the Audience Marketplace you will create several Data Source objects.
A Data Source is a core object within the Adobe Audience Manager platform (AAM). You can think of it like a container for data. You will use Data Sources for two reasons:
- To hold all of the user ID mappings created by the ID sync process
- To hold your Segment Taxonomies (a.k.a. Traits Taxonomies in AAM)
You need to create a Data Source to hold all of the User ID mappings. Once created, the Data Source ID shown in the UI becomes the Vendor ID needed for Step 5: Set up your User ID sync. Please see Creating a Data Source for more information. Specific settings you will need to use for this Data Source are as follows:
|
Name |
<Organization Name> ID sync |

Note: if you will be working with a data onboarding company to bring your data into AAM then you will likely NOT need to create a User ID Data Source - since the onboarding company will already have one.
You can sell your taxonomy in parts using multiple Marketplace Feeds. If you are wondering was is a Marketplace Feed -- see the FAQ. You need to create one Data Source for each Marketplace Feed you will offer.
These Data Sources will hold all of the Traits and Trait folders you will need to represent your Segment taxonomies. Please see Creating a Data Source for more information. Specific settings you will need to use for these Data Sources are as follows:
|
Name |
Name that represents the data set (example, "Acme Demographics"). For a Custom Feed, you may include the customer name here. This will only be displayed to you and the customer. |
