Claravine announced its integration with Adobe Experience Manager, providing a way to control content metadata and tagging within Experience Manager Sites, Experience Manager Assets, and more.

Then, as Claravine standardizes the data model for all areas of digital marketing operations, users can find missing metadata and sync it back into Adobe Experience Manager. Claravine’s integration with Adobe Experience Manager helps teams to:
- Streamline the deployment and governance of all Adobe Experience Manager metadata with other systems for content owners and marketing teams
- Optimize the marketing data layer with richer metadata and in-depth attributes

Arria NLG, provider of Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology, has announced the release of Arria Connect, which allows companies to embed Arria’s natural language technology into their dashboards and product offerings. Arria Connect puts the integration capabilities into the hands of developers who want to build NLG into their own Business Intelligence (BI) tool, analytics application, website, or process-automation workflow. Arria’s API-based architecture allows for a connection to other technology platforms in two ways:
- make a direct API call from any application that can communicate via HTTP; data is ingested and narrative is automatically returned; or,
- use the Arria Connect Integration Accelerator Kit to embed NLG inside software platforms for incorporating narrative. Users also have the ability to work with Arria’s prebuilt NLG solutions and configure them.
Developers with no NLG experience can leverage Arria Connect’s prebuilt libraries for integration rather than building from scratch. In addition to Arria’s prebuilt NLG solutions, Arria Connect also comes with a sample NLG implementation, sample code, and a complete documentation set.
globaledit introduced the next generation of its Digital Asset Management platform The release includes new capabilities that enable creative teams to collaborate, communicate and execute.
Watermarks: globaledit customers now have an improved watermarking process which permits additions of watermarks to all of their creative assets based on specific customizations such as size, opacity, logos, usernames, and even patterns of the watermarks. Once set up it can be assigned based on collection or folder requirements as well.
Approvals: Our approval gallery setup will allow talent and their agents to “Approve” or “Kill” assets based on their contractual obligations in a user-friendly manner. In addition to that, the studio officials can monitor and manage a report of all the galleries in progress and edit as and when appropriate.
Contact Sheet: In this release, you can expect contact sheets to function as a PDF of your folder/collection/search results. Users like Producers, Marketers, Retail Display Managers will be able to create a PDF without using any external tools that fit the assets into a page format.
Collections: Users can now organize and manage their collections based on which are active, expired or archived. In addition, they can group their collections based on needs and expiration dates. Lastly, users can now invite others to a newly made collection without the need for setting up library access.
Metadata: globaledit has made it easy for users to update and export metadata in and out of the application in bulk. This is particularly useful when data is coming in and out from third parties and want to ensure the latest information is captured in globaledit, including small variations in the CSV and XMP creation. It is an exifTool-friendly format, a standard tool in the photography workflow.
Adobe announced the end of development for PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build and the end of their investment in Apache Cordova. The PhoneGap Build service will be discontinued on October 1, 2020. PhoneGap’s goal has been to bring the full power of the web to mobile applications and enable mobile developers to create performant apps with a single codebase. Since the project’s beginning in 2008, the market has evolved and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) now bring the power of native apps to web applications. PWAs are increasingly bridging the gap between web and native mobile apps through capabilities such as offline support, push notifications, home-screen icons and full-screen view control without the need for containers. In the context of these developments and declining PhoneGap usage, Adobe is focusing on providing a platform that enables developers to build, extend, customize and integrate with Adobe products.
Apache Cordova, the open source fork of the PhoneGap project will continue to exist and offers a great pathway for most developers. Refer to the Cordova getting started guide for building locally as an alternative to PhoneGap Build and using Cordova-based tools as an alternative to the PhoneGap-specific workflows. Adobe has worked with Ionic to help customers with the transition experience and to enable them to continue to build their applications in the cloud. Refer to this documentation for best practices on moving your application to Ionic Appflow. There are also a number of alternative products to which you may want to consider migrating your PhoneGap app including:
- Monaca (refer to their PhoneGap Migration Guide) & Onsen UI (front-end UI framework)
- Framework
- NativeScript
- Ionic Capacitor
- Progressive Web Apps
