Aktivitetsdata

Aktivitetsdata, or activity data, refers to records that document actions performed by people, devices, or systems as they occur over time. Each entry typically includes a timestamp, an activity type, an actor, and contextual attributes. The data are used to analyze behavior, workflows, and performance across domains.

Common forms include event logs from information systems, time-series measurements from sensors, and streams of user actions from web or mobile apps. In organizations, aktivitetsdata may capture process steps, status updates, approvals, and exceptions.

Collection and management: Data originate from applications, databases, IoT devices, and mobile clients and often require integration from multiple sources, timestamp normalization, and deduplication. Privacy and governance considerations are central, with practices such as access control, anonymization, and data minimization.

Applications: In process mining, activity data enables discovery, conformance checking, and improvement of workflows. In healthcare or personal fitness, it helps monitor activity patterns. In digital marketing and product analytics, it supports engagement and funnel analysis. In smart cities and energy systems, it informs resource management.

Standards and formats: Activity data is stored in formats such as CSV, JSON, or XML, and in specialized event-log formats like XES used in process mining. The W3C Activity Streams specification provides a model for describing events. Data quality, provenance, and privacy governance are essential for reliable use.
