This value set contains 3 concepts
| Code | System | Display (en-US) | Definition |
| A | http://terminology.hl7.org/v2plusvocab/CodeSystem/encodingV101 | no encoding | No encoding - data are displayable ASCII characters. |
| Base64 | http://terminology.hl7.org/v2plusvocab/CodeSystem/encodingV101 | Encoding as defined by MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) standard RFC 1521. | Encoding as defined by MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) standard RFC 1521. Four consecutive ASCII characters represent three consecutive octets of binary data. Base64 utilizes a 65-character subset of US-ASCII, consisting of both the upper and lower case alphabetic characters, digits “0” through “9”, “+”, “/”, and “=”. |
| Hex | http://terminology.hl7.org/v2plusvocab/CodeSystem/encodingV101 | Hexadecimal encoding | Hexadecimal encoding - consecutive pairs of hexadecimal digits represent consecutive single octets. |
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 |
| System | 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 |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
