Lvl	Code	Display	Definition
0	application	ApplicationMediaType	Application specific media type.
1	application/dicom	DICOM	Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) MIME type defined in RFC3240 \[http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc3240.txt\].
1	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.
1	application/pdf	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.
0	audio	AudioMediaType	Audio media type.
1	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.
1	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.
1	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.
0	image	ImageMediaType	Image media type.
1	image/g3fax	G3Fax Image	This is recommended only for fax applications.
1	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.
1	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.
1	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.
1	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.
0	model	ModelMediaType	Model media type.
1	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)
0	multipart	MultipartMediaType	Multipart Media Type
1	multipart/x-hl7-cda-level-one	CDA Level 1 Multipart	The HL7 clinical document Architecture, Level 1 MIME package.
1	multipart/x-hl7-cda-level1	CDA Level 1 Multipart	The HL7 clinical document Architecture, Level 1 MIME package.
0	text	TextMediaType	For any text
1	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.
1	text/plain	Plain Text	Description:For any plain text. This is the default and is used for a character string (ST) data type.
1	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.
1	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.
1	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.
1	text/x-hl7-text+xml	HL7 Structured Narrative	Description: The content described by the CDA Narrative Block (not just used by CDA).
1	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.
0	video	VideoMediaType	Video media type.
1	video/mp4	MP4 Video	Video format by the Motion Picture Experts Group under ISO/IEC 14496
1	video/mpeg	MPEG Video	MPEG is an international standard, widely deployed, highly efficient for high color video; open source code exists; highly interoperable.
1	video/quicktime	QuickTime Video	Proprietary video format from Apple, Inc.
1	video/webm	WebM Video	A royalty-free audiovisual media file format.
1	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.
1	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

Source

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
