digestió

Digestiö is a term describing a framework and practice for converting large volumes of data and text into compact, actionable knowledge. It emphasizes iterative condensation, annotation, and structural organization to support understanding and decision making. The term is a neologism blending digest and the stylized ending ö, used mainly in information science and speculative linguistics.

A typical digestiö workflow involves ingestion of sources, automatic parsing and chunking into thematically related units, multi-level summarization, tagging and linking of concepts, and the creation of navigable outlines or visual digests. The output is a condensed digest that preserves key facts, relationships, and caveats, while enabling targeted retrieval.

In education and research, digestiö tools assist students and researchers in turning dense texts into study guides and literature digests. In journalism and policy analysis, digestiö workflows support rapid synthesis of multiple reports. The concept emerged in early 21st-century online discourse on AI-assisted knowledge management and has since been explored by researchers in human-computer interaction and information science.

Critics warn that automated digestiö can introduce bias through summarization, reduce nuance, or obscure sources. Proponents argue that when combined with transparent provenance and user oversight it can augment comprehension and cross-disciplinary insight.
