Stoppliste

Stoppliste is a compound term used in Norwegian and Swedish to denote a list of stops, suspensions, or restrictions. It is employed across several domains to identify items, locations, or entities that should be halted or excluded.

In public transportation, a stoppliste refers to the ordered list of stops on a particular route or line. It governs the sequence of stations or bus stops and may include data such as scheduled times, platform information, accessibility notes, and temporary service advisories. Transit planners and journey planners rely on stoppliste data to present accurate itineraries.

In procurement and compliance contexts, a stoppliste is a list of suppliers, products, or processes that are blocked or suspended due to safety concerns, regulatory action, or quality issues. Keeping a stoppliste helps organizations avoid purchasing problematic items and supports risk management.

In information security and content moderation, a stoppliste can function as a blocklist or blacklist of domains, IP addresses, email addresses, or content that should be blocked or filtered. As with other blocklists, it is maintained by administrators and can be dynamic, with expiry dates and reason codes.

Implementation-wise, stopplister are typically stored in databases or configuration files and integrated with other systems (routing engines, procurement platforms, or security filters). Fields often include identifier, name, reason for inclusion, start and end dates, and status.

Etymology: derived from the Norwegian and Swedish words for "to stop" and "list." See also blacklist, blocklist, hold list.
