Indarbejdet

Indarbejdet is a Danish adjective and past participle derived from the verb indarbejde, meaning to incorporate or embed something into a larger whole. It is used to describe elements that have been integrated into a document, policy, product, contract, or system.

Etymology: From ind- (in, into) and arbejde (to work). The construction literally means to "work into" something else, hence indarbejdet denotes that an element has been built into the overall structure.

Usage: Common in law, governance, business, and technical contexts. In contracts, indarbejdede bestemmelser are provisions included within another agreement. In policy work, indarbejdede krav refer to requirements that are integrated into regulatory or organizational frameworks. In product development, indarbejede funktioner describe features that are part of the final product rather than added later. The term can also apply to text, where indarbejdet afsnit or bestemmelser are integrated passages in a document.

Nuance: The term emphasizes integration rather than mere inclusion; it signals that the item is part of a coherent whole and may be binding or normative within that system.

Examples: "Foreslåede ændringer blev indarbejdet i lovteksten." "De indarbejdede sikkerhedsfunktionerne forbedrer produktets overholdelse af standarder." "Det indarbejdede krav træder i kraft ved kontraktens underskrivelse."
