datorelaterte

Datorelaterte is a compound adjective derived from the Scandinavian elements "dato" (date) and "relatert" (related), literally meaning "date-related." It is most commonly encountered in Norwegian and Danish contexts, where adjectives are inflected; "datorelaterte" typically appears as the plural or definite form used to agree with a plural noun (for example, "datorelaterte dokumenter" — date-related documents).

The term is used in administrative, legal and technical language to describe records, events, fields or metadata that are associated with specific dates. Examples include filing systems that sort "datorelaterte arkiver," database schemas with "datorelaterte felter" (date fields), and event lists labeled by occurrence date. In digital contexts, it appears in user interfaces, documentation and tagging conventions to indicate attributes such as creation date, modification date or scheduled date.

As a descriptive compound, datorelaterte has analogues in other languages (e.g., English "date-related"). Its usage is generally pragmatic rather than specialized, and it does not denote a single standardized concept. Interpretation depends on context: in legal texts it may imply statutory deadlines, while in IT it refers to temporal metadata used for querying, sorting or retention policies.

Related terms include "tidsrelatert" (time-related) and specific date descriptors such as "opprettelsesdato" (creation date) and "siste endring" (last modified).
