Címkézésen

Címkézésen is a Hungarian term built from the noun címkézés, meaning the act of labeling or tagging, with the suffix -en indicating a state or process (“on labeling,” “during labeling”). The word can describe both physical labeling of objects and digital or informational labeling.

Címkézés encompasses a broad set of activities aimed at attaching a label or tag to an item, document, or data unit to enable identification, classification, tracking, or compliance. In physical contexts, this includes product labels with brand, ingredients, nutrition information, origin, and expiration dates, as well as regulatory markings, safety warnings, and barcodes or RFID tags used for logistics and inventory control. In digital contexts, címkézés refers to the assignment of metadata or class labels to data, such as images, text, or audio, to support search, retrieval, and machine learning.

In industry and regulation, címkézés serves purposes of quality control, consumer information, and safety compliance. Accuracy, clarity, and consistency of labels are important to reduce misinterpretation and errors in handling, shipping, or consuming products. In data science and artificial intelligence, data címkézés requires clearly defined labeling guidelines, inter-annotator agreement, and quality assurance to ensure reliable model training. Common challenges include subjectivity, ambiguity in label definitions, and the need for scalable annotation workflows, often supported by specialized tools and annotators.

Linguistically, címkézésen functions as a case form used to express “in/at/on the labeling process” and appears in phrases describing ongoing labeling activities or stages. See also címke and címkézés for related terms.
