    Representation Type can be unmediated (which allows humans to receive the message communicated without an intermediation of a device) and mediated (which needs a device to decode the message). A lot of contemporary mediated types are digital. Each Representation Type may present specific features: bit rate for audio, resolution for digital images, encoding format for video etc. Depending of the type, properties may thus be needed to describe their characteristics. Not be confused with Content Type or Carrier Type since the form of representation can be independent of the communication or carrier.
