Abstract
The binary data type is a collection of raw bits. HL7 treats this conceptually as a list of BooleanNonNull values. An empty stream of binary data is considered to be an exceptional (null) value. The binary data type is an abstract one, which means that this data type is cannot be used inside a CDATM document. To send binary data see Encapsulated Data below.
