aantalPaginas

aantalPaginas is a field or variable name used in software, data models, and document metadata to record the total number of pages in a document or publication. The term is a compound formed from Dutch "aantal" (number) and "Paginas" (pages), and is commonly encountered as a camelCase identifier in programming and database schemas. In practice, it denotes an integer value representing how many pages the document contains.

In data exchange and APIs, a value such as { "aantalPaginas": 256 } communicates the page count to applications, catalogs, or readers. In databases, it is typically stored as an integer column with constraints that prevent negative values. The exact interpretation can vary: some systems include front matter and back matter within the count, while others report only the main content pages. Some contexts distinguish between total pages and content pages, or between printed pages and digital screen pages.

Counting rules may depend on conventions for pagination, such as excluding blank pages, or counting certain provisional pages (like title pages or contents pages) differently. Because page counts can change during revisions or reformatting, many systems recompute or validate the value on save or export.

Related concepts include bibliographic metadata and fields used by e-book formats or library catalogs. Although not a standardized Dutch term, aantalPaginas functions as a clear, machine-friendly identifier for page quantity in multilingual or software-focused environments.
