HL7-defined code system of concepts declaring the general type of media data that is encoded. Used in v2.5.1 interfaces and earlier, and replaced with the full set of IANA media types as a standard coding system for this after HL7 version 2.6 (see value set 2.16.840.1.113883.21.425 hl7VS-mimeTypes for HL7 table 0834 built on MIME types). More information may be found at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
