Dutch term or phrase: bestandsopbouw
"Bestandsopbouw abbonnee"

No further running context. This term appears in a table dealing with length of subscriptions in years over a period of several years. I'm inclined to interpret this as a breakdown of the statistics on readership, but would appreciate feedback. TIA. Cheers, R.

Explanation:
I agree it is a category for statistical analysis. In the magazine business we are concerned about our subscriber or subscription base. In this case, I would say that the term is a backtranslation into Dutch.

agree  Deborah do Carmo: Whilst I agree with Jack that "file structure" is the technical term, I wouldn't go literal here and think in context and judging by the description Robert has given that this would be a more appropriate heading in English for a table of this sort.

Explanation:
'File structure' is the technical term for 'bestandsopbouw'. A 'bestand' is not necessarily a database.
