sisalduse

Sisalduse is an Estonian noun meaning the contents or composition of something. In formal and technical language it is used to describe what is included within a document, dataset, media item, or other object, focusing on the components rather than its appearance or form.

Sisalduse is the genitive singular form of sisaldus, a noun that denotes content or inclusion. The plural form is sisaldused. It appears in phrases such as dokumendi sisalduse kirjeldus (description of the contents of a document) or andmete sisalduse loetelu (list of included data items) to specify what is contained.

In usage, sisalduse is common in legal, bibliographic, and information-management contexts. It is used to delineate scope, to communicate what a regulation, contract, dataset, or publication covers, and to distinguish content from format or presentation. In libraries and data curation, it is often considered alongside terms for structure and access, such as nimekiri and kirjeldus.
