All codes in this table are from the system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-mediaType
Level | Code | Display | Definition |
1 | application | ApplicationMediaType | Application specific media type. |
2 | application/dicom | DICOM | Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) MIME type defined in RFC3240 \[http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc3240.txt\]. |
2 | application/msword | MSWORD | This format is very prone to compatibility problems. If sharing of edit-able text is required, text/plain, text/html or text/rtf should be used instead. |
2 | application/pdf | The Portable Document Format is recommended for written text that is completely laid out and read-only. PDF is a platform independent, widely deployed, and open specification with freely available creation and rendering tools. | |
1 | audio | AudioMediaType | Audio media type. |
2 | audio/basic | Basic Audio | This is a format for single channel audio, encoded using 8bit ISDN mu-law \[PCM\] at a sample rate of 8000 Hz. This format is standardized by: CCITT, Fascicle III.4 -Recommendation G.711. Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) of Voice Frequencies. Geneva, 1972. |
2 | audio/k32adpcm | K32ADPCM Audio | ADPCM allows compressing audio data. It is defined in the Internet specification RFC 2421 \[ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2421.txt\]. Its implementation base is unclear. |
2 | audio/mpeg | MPEG audio layer 3 | MPEG-1 Audio layer-3 is an audio compression algorithm and file format defined in ISO 11172-3 and ISO 13818-3. MP3 has an adjustable sampling frequency for highly compressed telephone to CD quality audio. |
1 | image | ImageMediaType | Image media type. |
2 | image/g3fax | G3Fax Image | This is recommended only for fax applications. |
2 | image/gif | GIF Image | GIF is a popular format that is universally well supported. However GIF is patent encumbered and should therefore be used with caution. |
2 | image/jpeg | JPEG Image | This format is required for high compression of high color photographs. It is a "lossy" compression, but the difference to lossless compression is almost unnoticeable to the human vision. |
2 | image/png | PNG Image | Portable Network Graphics (PNG) \[http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png\] is a widely supported lossless image compression standard with open source code available. |
2 | image/tiff | TIFF Image | Although TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is an international standard it has many interoperability problems in practice. Too many different versions that are not handled by all software alike. |
1 | model | ModelMediaType | Model media type. |
2 | model/vrml | VRML Model | This is an openly standardized format for 3D models that can be useful for virtual reality applications such as anatomy or biochemical research (visualization of the steric structure of macromolecules) |
1 | multipart | MultipartMediaType | Multipart Media Type |
2 | multipart/x-hl7-cda-level-one | CDA Level 1 Multipart | The HL7 clinical document Architecture, Level 1 MIME package. |
2 | multipart/x-hl7-cda-level1 | CDA Level 1 Multipart | The HL7 clinical document Architecture, Level 1 MIME package. |
1 | text | TextMediaType | For any text |
2 | text/html | HTML Text | For marked-up text according to the Hypertext Mark-up Language. HTML markup is sufficient for typographically marking-up most written-text documents. HTML is platform independent and widely deployed. |
2 | text/plain | Plain Text | **Description:**For any plain text. This is the default and is used for a character string (ST) data type. |
2 | text/rtf | RTF Text | The Rich Text Format is widely used to share word-processor documents. However, RTF does have compatibility problems, as it is quite dependent on the word processor. May be useful if word processor edit-able text should be shared. |
2 | text/sgml | SGML Text | For structured character based data. There is a risk that general SGML/XML is too powerful to allow a sharing of general SGML/XML documents between different applications. |
2 | text/x-hl7-ft | HL7 Text | For compatibility, this represents the HL7 v2.x FT data type. Its use is recommended only for backward compatibility with HL7 v2.x systems. |
2 | text/x-hl7-text+xml | HL7 Structured Narrative | **Description:** The content described by the CDA Narrative Block (not just used by CDA). |
2 | text/xml | XML Text | For structured character based data. There is a risk that general SGML/XML is too powerful to allow a sharing of general SGML/XML documents between different applications. |
1 | video | VideoMediaType | Video media type. |
2 | video/mp4 | MP4 Video | Video format by the Motion Picture Experts Group under ISO/IEC 14496 |
2 | video/mpeg | MPEG Video | MPEG is an international standard, widely deployed, highly efficient for high color video; open source code exists; highly interoperable. |
2 | video/quicktime | QuickTime Video | Proprietary video format from Apple, Inc. |
2 | video/webm | WebM Video | A royalty-free audiovisual media file format. |
2 | video/x-avi | X-AVI Video | The AVI file format is just a wrapper for many different codecs; it is a source of many interoperability problems. |
2 | video/x-ms-wmv | Windows Media Video | Proprietary video format from Microsoft, Inc. |
Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
