dokumentbaserte

Dokumentbaserte is a Norwegian term used to describe something that is based on or organized around documents. It is commonly applied in several domains, including computing, education, and information management. The common thread is the emphasis on documents as primary sources of data, evidence, or artifacts.

In computing, the phrase is often associated with document-based databases. These databases store data as discrete documents, typically in JSON- or XML-like formats, rather than in fixed-table schemas. They tend to be schema-less or have flexible schemas, allowing nested and hierarchical data structures. Documents are retrieved by unique identifiers, and the systems usually support indexing for efficient queries, along with horizontal scaling. Document-based databases are a key component of many NoSQL approaches and are well suited for semi-structured data, rapidly changing models, and agile development. Trade-offs can include less emphasis on complex joins and, historically, weaker multi-document transactional guarantees, although many modern implementations now offer stronger consistency and transaction support.

Beyond databases, dokumentbaserte also describes methods and processes that rely on documents as primary evidence or input. In education, for example, dokumentbaserte vurderinger (document-based assessments) evaluate a student’s work through analysis of provided documents or sources rather than through traditional exams. In archiving and information management, document-based approaches focus on the preservation, metadata, and versioning of document objects. Overall, the term highlights a reliance on documents as central to data, evaluation, or workflow.
