(DS) A bundle of 64 time slots transmitted across a single line. The 16 data lines of the SCbus and the SCxbus are designated DS0 through DS15 and each carries one data stream.
Collections of data files that have a common source and structure are called data streams A data stream name consists of a first part with abbreviations for the site, data source, and facility, a period, and a second part indicating the data level. A data stream describes a type of file from a particular location. A data stream is actually broken up into daily pieces (or rarely, longer-period pieces). The pieces are files with the same basic name structure but differing in time.

An undifferentiated, byte-by-byte flow of data. A data stream can be distinguished in practice from a block transfer, although the moving of blocks could itself be considered a “stream†(of coarser granularity).
1. n. All information (data and control commands) sent over a data link usually in a single read or write operation. 2. n. A continuous stream of data elements being transmitted, or intended for transmission, in character or binary-digit form, using a defined format.
a stream of data that may be independently received by a wireless device
a stream of data that may be of independent reception interest to a wireless device
The constant stream of information being fed to the decoder. This stream contains all information needed to decode and view the image.
Coded information that is sent from a host computer or storage device to the printer. Data streams include Adobe's PostScript, Hewlett-Packard's PCL, IBM's IPDS, and Xerox's Metacode.
The GIF Data Stream is composed of blocks and sub-blocks representing images and graphics, together with control information to render them on a display device. All control and data blocks in the Data Stream must follow the Header and must precede the Trailer.
Information or knowledge that is "pushed" to users through an electronic library; this data stream should be maintained by the e-library vendor, not the libraries that use the e-library.
