Information About

Encoding




Encoding is the process of transforming information from one format into another. The opposite operation is called ''' Decoding '''.

There are a number of more specific meanings that apply in certain contexts:

  • Encoding (in Cognition) is a basic perceptual process of interpreting incoming stimuli; technically speaking, it is a complex, multi-stage process of converting relatively objective sensory input (e.g., light, sound) into subjectively meaningful experience.

  • Character Encoding is a code that pairs a set of natural language characters (such as an Alphabet or Syllabary ) with a set of something else, such as numbers or electrical pulses.

  • Text encoding uses a Markup Language to tag the structure and other features of a text to facilitate processing by computers. (See also Text Encoding Initiative .)

  • Semantics Encoding of formal language A in formal language B is a method of representing all terms (e.g. programs or descriptions) of language A using language B.

  • Electronic Encoding transforms a signal into a form optimized for Transmission or Storage , generally done with a Codec .

  • Neural Encoding is the way in which information is represented in Neurons .

  • Encryption transforms information for Secrecy .
