Descriptionteksti

Descriptionteksti is the descriptive text that accompanies a resource in digital catalogs, libraries, e-commerce platforms, and other data systems. It provides a concise, factual explanation of what the item is, its essential attributes, and its intended use. The term is used in various languages and contexts where plain prose describes an object or resource rather than serving as a label or metadata tag.

Usage and scope

In product pages, descriptionteksti explains the product’s purpose, features, materials, dimensions, and care instructions. In media libraries and catalogs, it summarizes content, genre, creators, and provenance. In metadata records, it highlights key identifiers, relationships, and licensing. The overarching goal is to inform users and support discovery by search tools, while avoiding promotional language.

Style and structure

A typical description teksti starts with a concise summary sentence, followed by essential details. It should be neutral, precise, and verifiable. Length and tone vary by platform; short descriptions may suffice for search results or quick references, while longer entries can provide context, usage notes, and clarifications.

Length and constraints

Platform-specific limits apply to descriptionteksti. For example, product descriptions common in catalogs tend to be a few dozen to a couple of hundred words, while SEO-related descriptions aim for concise snippets around 150–160 characters. The text should prioritize clarity and relevance, ensuring that readers quickly understand what the item is and why it matters.
