Abstract

Each piece of information represents a selection from a set of possibilities. This set is the “domain of information”, which must be uniformly known before any information transport. The components of digital information are also sequences of numbers that represent a selection from a domain of information. So far, however, there is no guarantee that this domain is uniformly known. There is still no infrastructure that makes it possible to publish the domain of digital information in a uniform manner. Therefore, a standardized machine-readable online definition of the binary format and the domain of digital number sequences is proposed. These are uniquely identified worldwide as domain vectors (DVs) by an efficient Internet address of the online definition. As a result, optimized, language-independent digital information can be uniformly defined, identified, efficiently exchanged and compared worldwide for more and more applications.
