Digital experience

Digital experience (DX) emerged from work in the 1990s on “experience management” which included customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Customer experience (CX) became the primary focus of experience management in the 2000s fueled by the growth of web commerce and other digital marketing channels. Technology suppliers and analysts serving marketing organizations began targeting CX in their products and services with features and their own marketing and branding efforts. In particular many “web content management (WCM) systems” became “customer experience management” (CXM), web experience management” or “web engagement management” systems (both using the WEM acronym). Most of these same products and services were also applicable and already in use for managing other stakeholder experiences, and became “digital experience” (DX) systems or platforms (DXPs), with CX being one component.

A positive digital experience requires much more than a pretty and fast web page or mobile app. There are other marketing technologies, internal back-end systems, supply chains, and operational workflows, digital or not, that need to be integrated with to ensure a smooth and informed experience. See Digital Experience is all about integration and agility.

Metadata

The term metadata refers to “data about data”, but both uses of “data” in practice are loose, in that they can refer to structured, unstructured, or semi-structured data, and can be descriptive or prescriptive. Metadata can also refer to physical objects.

Metadata is especially useful for creating, managing, publishing, categorizing, searching, and enhancing digital information. See the Wikipedia page on the Dublin Core for a good description.

multichannel publishing

This term came into widespread use with the emergence of electronic documents, especially after the Web was created. Since then “multi-channel” has grown to mean any number of channels and even an unknown, n + 1, number of channels given the proliferation of devices and applications.

“Omnichannel” or omni-channel publishing became a popular concept among marketers to refer to “all the channels”, including physical and digital, to a customer, and the desire to synchronize all channels and touch points for a good customer experience. Marketers are of course hopeful by nature.

Also see single source publishing, multipurpose publishing, SGML, and XML.

computer aided translation

Now more commonly known as machine translation (MT), refers to the the use of software to translate text or speech from one language to another. In the 80s and 90s MT software was rule-based, but in the 2000s statistical analysis and the re-emergence of neural networking and more advanced machine learning techniques have proved to be far more successful.
