dokumenterbare

Dokumenterbare is an adjective used in Norwegian to describe claims, data, or facts that can be supported by documents or records. The term signals verifiability and the possibility to back up assertions with tangible evidence, such as official reports, datasets, or archival material.

The word is formed from the root related to documentation and the suffix -bar, which denotes capability. In usage, different inflected forms appear depending on gender and number, for example dokumenterbar in some contexts and dokumenterbare in others. The term is common in juridical, scientific, and administrative language, where documentation is a prerequisite for credibility and accountability.

In practice, something is considered dokumenterbar when there exists credible documentation that substantiates it. This can include primary sources, audit trails, methodological descriptions, or independent records. The concept is closely linked to but not identical with related ideas such as bevis, dokumentasjon, og verifisering. Bevis may rely on arguments or observations, while dokumentasjon emphasizes accessible records that can be examined by others.

Dabol limitations, some legitimate claims may be difficult to render dokumenterbare due to privacy, incomplete archives, or proprietary restrictions. In research and governance, achieving dokumenterbar status often involves collecting, organizing, and presenting sources in a transparent manner so that others can verify the claim.
