This codeSystem contains codes which specify the technical format of a document. Each code provides sufficient information to allow any potential document consumer to know if it will be able to process the document. The codes are sufficiently specific to ensure processing/display by identifying a document encoding, structure and template. For example, formatCodes can be used in the FHIR DocumentReference resource to characterize the document being referenced.

This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:
