coding

Litigation Support: Automated or human process through which documents are examined and evaluated using predetermined codes, and the results of those comparisons are logged. Coding usually identifies names, dates, and relevant terms or phrases. Coding may be structured (limited to the selection of one of a finite number of choices), or unstructured (a narrative comment about a document). Coding may be objective, i.e., the name of the sender or the date, or subjective, i.e., evaluation as to the relevancy

Document coding is the process of capturing case-relevant information (i.e. author, date authored, date sent, recipient, date opened, etc.) from a paper document

The specification of a peptide sequence, by the code contained in DNA molecules. See: genetic code.

act of assigning file designations to records as they are classified See also classifying and indexing.

In communications systems, the altering of the characteristics of a signal to make the signal more suitable for an intended application, such as optimizing the signal for transmission, improving transmission quality and fidelity, modifying the signal spectrum, increasing the information content, providing error detection and/or correction, and providing data security. Note: A single coding scheme usually does not provide more than one or two specific capabilities. Different codes have different advantages and disadvantages. 2. In communications and computer systems, implementing rules that are used to map the elements of one set onto the elements of another set, usually on a one-to-one basis. 3. The digital encoding of an analog signal and, conversely, decoding to an analog signal.
