puristuksi

Purustuksi is an organisational system originating from the island of Lapland, Finland. The system enables integrated organisation of information and enables comprehensive description of a mountain as a comprehensive and autonomous whole.

Purustuksi was first developed by local compilers of topographical material in the early 20th century, serving an essential tool for mapping and geodetic work in the vast and sparsely populated Lapland region. The system creates hierarchically organised clusters of features, ranging from topographical hill forms to peaks and ridges.

This form of structured description can be applied to various types of geographic features, including natural and artificial objects, and serves as a practical approach to data management. Purustuksi allows for efficient and systematic categorisation, numbering and identification of entities on the screen.

This method helps to maintain order in complex and dynamic environments with variable data. It's been used primarily in combination with cartographic mapping and geographical database system, to encapsulate individual themes and interest areas within structured spatial data bodies.

Due to its flexibility and data liberalisation, purustuksi can be tailored to suit various community goals, scholastic objectives, spatial programming contexts, and required application environments. Contemporary applications and extensions include gaming, various computer science subfields, artificial intelligence research and related softwares.
