Kaardisüsteemi refers to a card system, commonly used in various contexts for organization, identification, or information storage. In its most basic form, a card system involves using individual cards, often made of paper or plastic, to hold discrete pieces of information. These cards can be arranged, sorted, or searched to retrieve specific data.

Historically, card systems were prevalent in libraries for cataloging books. Each book was represented by one or more index cards detailing its title, author, subject, and location. These cards were meticulously filed in cabinets, allowing librarians to locate requested materials efficiently. Similarly, businesses have utilized card systems for customer records, inventory management, and employee information.

In modern times, the concept of a card system has evolved significantly with the advent of digital technology. While physical cards are still in use for identification purposes like credit cards, loyalty cards, and access cards, much of the information previously stored on physical cards is now managed digitally. This includes digital wallets that store payment and loyalty cards, and databases that replicate the functionality of traditional index card systems. The core principle of using individual units for distinct pieces of information remains, regardless of whether the medium is physical or digital.
