1.2Definitions

•Information Object Definition (IOD) - An IOD is a data model which is an abstraction of real-world information. This data model defines the nature and attributes relevant to the class of real-world objects represented.

•Service/Object Pair (SOP) Class - A SOP Class is defined by the union of an Information Object Definition and a set of DIMSE Services. A DICOM Application Entity may support one or more SOP Classes. Each SOP Class is uniquely identified by a SOP Class UID.

•SOP Instance - A specific occurrence of a Information Object.

•Transfer Syntax - The Transfer Syntax is a set of encoding rules that allow DICOM Application Entities to negotiate the encoding techniques (e.g. data element structure, byte ordering, compression) they are able to support.

•Unique Identifier (UID) - A Unique Identifier is a globally unique, ISO compliant, ASCII-numeric string. It guarantees uniqueness across multiple countries, sites, vendors and equipment.
