Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-CompressionAlgorithm defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

CodeDisplayDefinitionhowAppliesStatus
BZ bzip bzip-2 compression format. See \[http://www.bzip.org/\] for more information. active
DF deflate The deflate compressed data format as specified in RFC 1951 \[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt\]. mandatory active
GZ gzip A compressed data format that is compatible with the widely used GZIP utility as specified in RFC 1952 \[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt\] (uses the deflate algorithm). other active
Z compress Original UNIX compress algorithm and file format using the LZC algorithm (a variant of LZW). Patent encumbered and less efficient than deflate. deprecated active
Z7 Z7 7z compression file format. See \[http://www.7-zip.org/7z.html\] for more information. active
ZL zlib A compressed data format that also uses the deflate algorithm. Specified as RFC 1950 \[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt\] other active
