obearbetade

Obearbetade is a Swedish adjective meaning unprocessed or not subjected to further processing or refinement. It is used to describe data, materials, manuscripts, or other items that have not yet undergone cleaning, transformation, or analysis. In data handling, obearbetade data refer to raw data in their original form, often requiring normalization, cleaning, or transformation before statistical analysis or reporting.

Grammatically, obearbetade is formed from the verb bearbeta, meaning to process, with the negating prefix o- and the adjective ending -ad. The base form is obearbetad; when describing plural nouns, the form obearbetade is used (for example, obearbetade data). The related antonym is bearbetad (or bearbetat in neuter), meaning processed.

Usage notes: Obearbetade is common in technical, scientific, and archival contexts. It can describe physical materials (for example, obearbetade parts or samples) as well as digital data (obearbetade filer). The term helps distinguish items that have not yet undergone the steps of processing, analysis, or refinement from those that have.

See also: bearbetning, bearbeta, bearbetad, bearbetat. These terms cover the broader concept of processing, transformation, and refinement in data, materials, and documents.
