Datensparsamkeit data-spare-some-ness

  I like data frugality from Martin Fowler's post best. According to [1] it is called data economy. in the official translation of the German Federal data protection act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG). [1] § 3a Datenvermeidung und Datensparsamkeit Section 3a Data reduction and data economy https://dict.leo.org/forum/viewUnsolvedquery.php?idThread=561497&idForum=1&lang=en&lp=ende https://dict.leo.org/forum/viewUnsolvedquery.php?idThread=56...

    data frugality seems to express it the best. data economy is a bit unfortunate since it also could mean an economy based on trading data, which is almost the opposite of the goals of Datensparsamkeit.

  "spare" is not a German word. closest is "sparen" : to save. "sparsam" : economic, thrifty, frugal. data - economic - ness.

    spare and sparen have the same root and related meanings. And -sam suffix is related to -some, like in handsome.

      Exactly: "spare" is the imperative ("save!"), "sparen" the base form ("to save").

        I meant "spare" in English. English "spare" and german "sparen" have same roots and related meaning. To spare versus to save. Just wanted to point out the translation attempt of data-spare-some-ness is not unreasonable.
