Samengeplaatst

Samengeplaatst is a Dutch past participle from the verb samenplaatsen, meaning to place together, to assemble, or to co-locate items. As an adjective, it describes elements that have been placed together or combined into a single unit, arrangement, or publication. The word derives from samen- (together) and plaatsen (to place).

In usage, samengeplaatst occurs across several domains. In publishing and media, it describes content where multiple items are presented together within one piece, such as samengeplaatste foto’s (grouped or combined photos) or samengeplaatste documenten (documents compiled into one file). In design and cartography, it can refer to layers or elements that are positioned relative to each other, for example samengeplaatste kaartlagen (collated map layers). In logistics or data management, it can describe records or items that are grouped into a single shipment or dataset.

Differences from related terms: samenstellen refers to the act of assembling from separate parts, while samenplaatsen emphasizes placing components in relation to each other or in a shared space; samengeplaatst describes the resulting state rather than the process alone.

Examples: “De drie afbeeldingen zijn samengeplaatst tot één collage.” “De samengeplaatste kaartlagen verbeteren de visuele vergelijking.”
