Databaseopslagen

Databaseopslagen is a term used in Danish-speaking IT contexts to denote a centralized repository of registry-like records about items stored in or managed by information systems. It is not a standard industry term, but appears in discussions of configuration registries and metadata stores that accompany active databases.

A typical databaseopslagen stores entries that describe other datasets or objects, including identifiers, schemas, provenance, timestamps, and access controls. Each entry may include fields such as id, name, type, status, version, creation and modification times, source systems, and relationships to other entries. The data model emphasizes traceability and governance, enabling impact analysis and change tracking.

Implementation approaches vary: a relational table in a database, a dedicated document store, or a graph-based registry. It often uses indexing on identifiers, names, and tags, and may connect to a metadata repository or data catalog. Interoperability is supported by standards for metadata, such as schema descriptions and data lineage.

Use cases include configuration management, asset registries, data lineage, data cataloging, and service discovery. By providing a single source of truth for metadata and references, databaseopslagen can improve data quality and operational reliability, though it adds maintenance overhead and requires strong governance.

Challenges include ensuring data quality, access control, privacy, versioning, and synchronization with source systems. Adoption often requires clear ownership, lifecycle policies, and integration with logging and auditing. See also database, data registry, and data governance.
