liittymäkohdaksi

liittymäkohdaksi is a Finnish translative form meaning “as a connection point” or “into a connection point.” The word is built from liittymä (interface, connection) and kohta (point) with the translative suffix -ksi, which signals designation or becoming. The term is used to indicate that a component, module, or service is intended to function as a point of connection for other systems or subsystems.

The concept is primarily used in technical contexts, especially IT, data integration, and industrial automation. In such writings, liittymäkohdaksi conveys that a part of a system is designed to serve as a junction or interface through which other systems connect, exchange data, or interact. It helps to describe architectural roles without specifying a concrete implementation detail.

Usage examples include describing architectural decisions, interface design, or integration points. For instance: “Moduuli X voidaan määritellä liittymäkohdaksi muiden järjestelmien kanssa.” “API-rajapinnat suunnitellaan usein liittymäkohdiksi, joiden kautta ulkoiset palvelut integroituvat järjestelmään.” “Tietoliikennearkkitehtuurissa liittymäkohdaksi voi tulla esimerkiksi tietokanta- tai viestintärajapinta.” These sentences illustrate the general idea: a component designated as a connection point for interactions with external or internal systems.

Related terms include kohta (point), rajapinta (interface), and integraatiopiste (integration point). In Finnish technical prose, liittymäkohdaksi is most meaningful when used to denote the role of a component in enabling interoperability and data exchange.
