kantinformasjon

Kantinformasjon is a Norwegian term that translates to information about edges. Composed of kant meaning edge or border and informasjon meaning information, it is used in technical contexts to designate data or details relating to the boundaries or perimeters of objects, spaces, or networks.

In cartography and geography, kantinformasjon refers to boundary data such as border lines, coordinates, and delineations of regions. In manufacturing and quality control, it describes specifications for edges of parts, including tolerances, chamfers, bevels, and edge quality.

In information technology and graph theory, the term may appear when describing edge attributes in graphs, such as edge weight, type, or direction, i.e., information about the links between nodes rather than nodes themselves. In surveying or legal contexts, kantinformasjon can denote jurisdictional or territorial boundary information.

The term is primarily used in Norwegian-language technical writing; in English, contexts would typically phrase the concept as edge information, boundary information, or edge attributes depending on domain. See also kant, informasjon, boundary, edge, edge attribute, border.
