In general, to produce a string of symbols or numbers corresponding to an input value Particularly on the Internet, to produce a file that can be stored and transmitted using the Internet's usual routines from a file containing a data type the system isn't set up to handle Encoding is necessary because parts of the Internet, such as the mail system and Usenet newsgroups, were set up expecting only text files In order to transmit programs, spreadsheets, and other formatted files that might contain characters not allowed in text, as well as Macintosh files that contain multiple parts (forks), the files must be converted to a form that looks like text You then convert the files back to the original form as you download them, or you use a decoding utility afterwards For PC files and Unix programs, the most popular form of encoding is UUencoding For Macintosh files, it's BinHex To convert an analog signal, such as normal video, to its digital equivalent To "digitize" a signal
The term used to describe the translation of information, such as text or photographs, into binary code
The compressing of a file (See "Compression") Encoding converts digital media files into stream-ready files and live feeds into streams Stream encoding adds indexed or "hinted" tracks that tell the streaming server how to package the media for transmission over the network
If you encode a message or some information, you put it into a code or express it in a different form or system of language. The two parties encode confidential data in a form that is not directly readable by the other party decode. to put a message or other information into code decode, decipher decipher

(n ) A facility that encodes data for the purpose of achieving data compression Frequently, the data to be encoded is video data, but other types of data, including audio, can be compressed as well Contrast with decoder See also cell encoding, data compression, entropy coding, H 261 encoding, hierarchical encoding, predictive encoding, run-length encoding, sequential encoding
The process of applying a suitable code to an original message in order to change its form into one which is more advantageous for transmission, storage, reading, etc
The process of transferring information from its ``natural'' form to an encoded form It requires an identification of the valid states associated with the information and the states of a code The process acts on an information unit and replaces it with the system whose state space contains the code
This is the name for the process in which larger sound files are compressed into smaller ones When you convert a file from WAV format into an MP3 file, you are encoding When you record a song from a CD into MP3 format, you are ripping (see below) and encoding it
The assignment of bit-patterns to data types in a computer For example, one given bit arrangement may define an integer data type (e g , 2's complement, 1's complement, or biased), whereas another may describe a character data type (e g , ASCII, EBCDIC)
The activity of inserting specific computer codes (or "tags"), based on a specific tag set, in data files to designate various structural components of the text This process is also referred to as "marking-up" the data files

The conversion of data into a particular form for a particular purpose In relation the Internet, a way of converting files into a form that can be sent as e-mail Internet e-mail follows the ASCII standard ASCII characters are represented by seven bits; computer programs - including spreadsheet and word-processing packages - use eight-bit codes Such programs thus extend the number of characters and formatting options beyond what ASCII can handle Encoding techniques get around the problem They involve separating and regrouping the number of bits so that the binary output from a computer program can be coded as basic ASCII for transmission purposes, and restored to its original form at its destination
The process of converting a message into a code that is designed to achieve a particular purpose (e g error detection and correction, bit rate reduction)
(also called Encryption, Offset Counter Format, or Integer Date Format) Encoding allows current field widths to be maintained by storing additional information into existing fields A more efficient use of bits may allow inclusion of century information For example, by converting the data type from ASCII to binary, larger numbers can be stored in the same field Similarly, if the numbering system was changed from decimal to hexadecimal, two-digit year values greater than 99 could be stored
The process of converting analogue (wave based information) to the digital information (ones and zeros) that can be used by computers Also known as digitisation
An encoding is a mapping from a set of bytes onto a character set It is what determines which byte sequence represents which character The words "encoding" and "character set" are often used synonymously The specification for ASCII specifies both a character set and an encoding But CJK character sets often have multiple encodings for the character set (end multiple character sets for some encodings)
A set of unambiguous rules that establishes a character set and a relationship between the characters and their representations The character set does not have to be fixed to a finite pre-defined set of characters The representations do not have to be of uniform length Examples are an ISO2022 graphic set, a state-independent or state-dependent combination of graphic sets, possibly including control sets, and the X Compound Text encoding In X, encodings are identified by a string which appears as: the CharSetRegistry and CharSetEncoding components of an XLFD name; the name of a charset of the locale for which a font could not be found; or an atom which identifies the encoding of a text property or which names an encoding for a text selection target type Encoding names should be composed of characters from the X Portable Character Set
