Tietueissa

Tietueissa is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “in the records” or “within the data entries.” It is the plural inessive form of tietue, a noun that designates a data record or entry in a database, file, or information system. The inessive case marks location, so tietueissa literally translates to “in the data records” and is used to describe where data are stored or found when referring to multiple records.

In practice, tietue is a common term in information management, library science, and information technology, describing a discrete unit of stored information about an object or item. A single tietue is one entry; several tietueet form a collection. Tietueissa appears in documentation, user interfaces, or data governance discussions to indicate the location of data within a set of records. For example: tiedot ovat tietueissa. Useat tietueet sisältävät saman henkilön tietoja. The form does not denote a separate concept beyond its grammatical function, but it is frequently encountered in technical Finnish texts.

Related terms include tietue (data record), tietokanta (database), and tiedot (information/data). The word is standard Finnish and is used in formal writing, manuals, catalogs, and archival descriptions.
