1.2 Definitions
• 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.
