let's chalk this one up to a bad original document I think flagging works well here. Still, anything and everything here may fit into the context - without being specific/professional enough for us to say EXACTLY what is the best term.
I think we should chalk this one up to sloppy writing.

Instead of pinpoint... If pinpointing data is too narrow a term, what about flagging data? From your context, does it seem like *** needs *** to flag certain data for them?

Certainly a little mystery in this one...

who and what Confidentiality, you know.
A government educational office will be aggregaring and prikking data for a certain journalist/internet-based news agency.
The data in question is Access or Excel spreadsheets, so aggregate is correct here. but prikke?

"Bake bake kake til mamma kommer,
Rulle rulle rulle rulle rundt i ring,
Prikke prikke prikke med pekefinger,
Høyt opp i taket og ned igjen!"

Per Bergvall Feb 19, 2010:

Strange choice of words... Let's assume that the first *** is a bank, and the other *** is skatteetaten: Aggregere would then be simply to collect, but you can say aggregate if pretentiousness doesn't bother you. From this aggregated information, *** is asking *** to 'prikke' data, which must be to pinpoint some fact or other. This is kind of contradictory - innsyn means opening up data for inspection, while pinpointing would be to isolate a particular item. So Jeff - if you can't say who *** and *** are, perhaps saying WHAT they are would make it clearer?
