Dictionary Definitions
- n., The byte-serialized encoding of a digital object that defines the syntactic and semantic rules for the mapping from an information model to a byte stream and the inverse mapping from that byte stream back to the original information model. In most contexts, digital format is used interchangeably with digital file-related concepts such as file format, file wrapper, file encoding, etc. However, there are some contexts, “such as the network transport of formatted content streams or consideration of content streams at a level of granularity finer than that of an entire file, where specific reference to “file” is inappropriate.” Syn.: digital presentation. See also: file format.
