mappate

Mappate is a term that may have different meanings depending on language and context. In Italian, it is the feminine plural past participle of the verb mappare and functions as an adjective meaning mapped or plotted. It is used to describe data, areas, images, or datasets that have undergone mapping.

In practical Italian usage, the form agrees with the noun it modifies. For example, zone mappate means mapped zones (feminine plural), while dati mappati means mapped data (masculine plural). Phrases like la zona è stata mappata illustrate the passive-voice construction. In fields such as geospatial analysis, urban planning, and data management, mappate appears in technical writing to indicate that elements have been mapped or integrated into a map or database.

Outside of Italian grammar, mappate does not denote a widely recognized standalone concept in English-language reference works. It may appear as an Italian word embedded in multilingual texts, or as a potential proper name or brand in fiction, journalism, or product naming. When encountered in English contexts, it is usually understood as the Italian participle and will be explained by surrounding text.
