identifikatoriske

Identifikatoriske is a Norwegian adjective used to describe properties, methods, or criteria related to identification and identifiers. The term appears in discussions across information science, data governance, linguistics, and cataloging to denote elements that enable distinguishing one object, record, or text from another.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed from identifikator (identifier) with the adjectival suffix -isk, giving a meaning roughly “pertaining to identifiers.” In Norwegian, identifikatoriske is the inflected form used in various grammatical constructions.

Applications: In data management and database design, identifikatoriske aspects refer to identifiers that ensure unique identification of records, such as primary keys, UUIDs, or other key fields, as well as metadata that describes how identification is performed. In linguistics and text analysis, identifikatoriske features may refer to attributes that help identify a language, dialect, author, or document provenance. In library and information science, identifikatoriske metadata are those elements that support retrieval and disambiguation, such as ISBN, ISSN, DOIs, and arXiv IDs.

Limitations: The usefulness of identifikatoriske properties depends on the quality of the identifiers and the surrounding metadata. Poorly chosen identifiers or incomplete metadata can hinder disambiguation and data integration.
