Informasjonsmessig

Informasjonsmessig is a Norwegian adjective that describes something related to information or information handling. The form is built from the noun informasjon (information) and the suffix -messig, which in Norwegian creates adjectives meaning “characteristic of” or “in terms of.”

Use and scope: It is most common in professional, academic, and administrative language, especially in fields dealing with information management, data governance, communication, and information security. It can describe aspects such as quality, flow, accessibility, or governance of information within an organization. For example, you might speak of informasjonsmessig kvalitet or perform an informasjonsmessig vurdering of a project.

Etymology and construction: The term follows Norwegian patterns for forming adjectives with -messig, analogous to saying something is “information-related” in English. It is typically used when the focus is on information rather than on related technologies or processes alone.

Usage notes: Informasjonsmessig is more common in formal or technical prose. In everyday language, speakers might opt for more specific compound constructions like informasjonskvalitet (information quality) or informasjonsflyt (information flow) depending on the context.
