nimepõhiselt

Nimepõhiselt is an Estonian term that translates to "name-based" or "by name" in English. It is often used in contexts where identification or categorization is done by referring to a specific name, rather than by a numerical identifier, a code, or some other attribute. This can apply to a variety of fields, including computer systems, databases, and general organizational structures.

In computing, for example, files or variables might be accessed nimepõhiselt, meaning you refer to them by their given name rather than their memory address or an index number. Similarly, in databases, records can be retrieved or managed nimepõhiselt, where a particular entry is identified by its unique name or a specific field that functions as a name. This approach can enhance readability and user-friendliness, as names are generally more intuitive than abstract identifiers.

The concept of nimepõhiselt also extends to organizational practices. Employees might be assigned tasks or responsibilities nimepõhiselt, meaning they are directed to an individual based on their name. This contrasts with systems where roles or positions might be filled without specifying a particular person. The application of nimepõhiselt emphasizes individual identity and direct attribution.
