Formatowane

Formatowane is a Polish adjective and past participle form derived from the verb formatować, meaning to format. It describes data, documents, or other items that have been arranged or converted to conform to a specified format or standard. In use, it emphasizes the result of a formatting process rather than the process itself (which is referred to by formatowanie).

In information technology and data handling, formatowane is common to denote that an object has been prepared for a particular presentation, storage, or interoperability. Examples include formatowane dane (data prepared to meet a schema or schema-compatible structure), formatowane pliki (files arranged to follow a given format), and formatowanie tekstu (the layout and styling of written content). The term is widely used across software, databases, and publishing workflows to distinguish between raw input and output that has been standardized or prepared for use, export, or display.

The noun form formatowanie refers to the process of applying a format, while formatowany and formatowane describe the result. In programming and IT contexts, you may encounter phrases like formatowane dane export, formatowany raport, or formatowane wyjście, all indicating that the content conforms to a defined structure. The concept extends beyond digital data to typesetting and document preparation, reflecting a broader notion of arranging information into a consistent, specified presentation.
