indekseret

Indekseret is a Danish term meaning that something has been included in an index. In information retrieval, indexing is the process of organizing data so that it can be retrieved quickly and efficiently. An item described as indekseret has been processed and linked to entries in a specific index, which acts as a guide to its location or content.

In libraries and bibliographic catalogs, indexing involves creating metadata for items such as books or articles, including author, title, subject, and classification. These entries are recorded in a catalog or database and linked to the physical or digital location of the item. An indekseret item is thus discoverable through catalog searches.

In databases, indexing builds structures like indexes on one or more columns to speed up queries. An indekseret row or record means it is present in the corresponding index, allowing faster lookups compared with scanning the entire dataset. Indexing involves trade-offs, including additional storage and maintenance overhead and possible complexities when data changes.

In web search, indexing is performed by crawlers that gather pages and store them in an index. A page that is indekseret can be retrieved by search queries and may be ranked according to relevance and other signals. The index must be updated periodically to reflect changes on pages.

Overall, indekseret indicates that an item has been processed for efficient retrieval by a particular index, enabling faster discovery while introducing considerations related to accuracy, timeliness, and resource use.
