weergaven

Weergaven, the Dutch term for displays or views, refers to how information is presented to users or to representations of data in computing and media. The word is the plural of weergave, meaning display, rendering, or representation.

In user interfaces, weergaven refer to different ways of presenting data within an application, such as a list view, detail view, grid view, or map view. In software architecture, a view is the component that renders the model's data for interaction, most commonly in patterns such as MVC, MVVM, or MVP.

In databases, the singular form weergave corresponds to a database view: a stored query that presents data as a virtual table. Views can simplify complex queries, shield users from sensitive columns, and provide a stable interface even if underlying tables change. Some systems allow views to be updatable subject to restrictions.

In web analytics and digital media, weergaven refer to counts of how often a resource is displayed, e.g., page views or video views. They function as a basic engagement metric, often used alongside unique visitors or session data.

In graphics and rendering, weergave can mean the act of displaying or rendering content on a screen, including rendering pipelines, previews, and display quality. The term is widely used in Dutch user manuals and documentation to describe how content is presented to an observer.
