korrektuse
korrektuse is a noun used in several languages to denote the act or result of correcting errors. Etymologically it derives from the Latin correctus, via vernacular forms. In textual editing, korrektuse refers to the systematic process of identifying and rectifying mistakes in a manuscript, ranging from typographical errors to factual inaccuracies and inconsistencies in style. A record of such changes is sometimes kept as an errata list, or as a corrigendum or korrektuse log, depending on jurisdiction or publishing house tradition. In data processing and science, korrektuse describes procedures to adjust measurements or data sets to reduce bias or error, including calibration, normalization, bias correction, and imputation. In legal and administrative domains, korrektuse may denote formal corrections to official documents, records, or classifications, enacted to reflect true information or to rectify clerical mistakes.
The term's precise meaning and usage vary by language and field, so local conventions should be consulted.
