Kartlagts

Kartlagts is a Swedish past participle form derived from the verb kartlägga, meaning to map, chart, or survey. In contemporary use it describes something that has been mapped or inventoried, often in formal or scientific contexts. The form is typically encountered in perfect or passive constructions, such as har kartlagts or har kartlagts data, to indicate that the mapping has been completed.

Etymology and form: kartlägga combines kart (map) with lägga (to place or set), and the resulting participles have several inflected forms depending on tense, number, and voice. Kartlagts in particular functions as a passive past participle, commonly appearing in the present perfect tense to denote that mapping work has been carried out and finalized. Variants such as kartlagd or kartlagda may appear in other grammatical contexts.

Usage: The term is widely used across fields where systematic surveying is important. In geography, ecology, archaeology, public health, and data management, statements like “har kartlagts” indicate that occurrences, distributions, or datasets have been identified and recorded. It often appears in project reports, research articles, government documents, and news coverage describing completed mapping activities, inventories, or surveys.

Examples: Flera nya växtarter har kartlagts i området. Data om infrastruktur har kartlagts för planering av framtida utveckling.
