2. Orders of magnitude (data) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(data)

   1 bit – 0 or 1, false or true, Low or High (a.k.a. unibit) 1.442695 bits (log 2 e) – approximate size of a nat (a unit of information based on natural logarithms) 1.5849625 bits (log 2 3) – approximate size of a trit (a base-3 digit) 2 1: 2 bits – a crumb (a.k.a. dibit) enough to uniquely identify one base pair of DNA

3. Units of information - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_information

   The byte, 8 bits, 2 nibbles, is possibly the most commonly known and used base unit to describe data size. The word is a size that varies by and has a special importance for a particular hardware context. On modern hardware, a word is typically 2, 4 or 8 bytes, but the size varies dramatically on older hardware.

4. PDF - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF

   The PDF 1.4 specification allowed form submissions in XML format, but this was replaced by submissions in XFDF format in the PDF 1.5 specification. XFDF conforms to the XML standard. XFDF can be used in the same way as FDF; e.g., form data is submitted to a server, modifications are made, then sent back and the new form data is imported in an ...

5. Bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit

   Frequently, half, full, double and quadruple words consist of a number of bytes which is a low power of two. A string of four bits is usually a nibble . In information theory , one bit is the information entropy of a random binary variable that is 0 or 1 with equal probability, [ 3 ] or the information that is gained when the value of such a ...

6. File size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

   File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or how much storage space it is allocated. Typically, file size is expressed in units based on byte. A large value is often expressed with a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte). [1]

7. Octet (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

   The international standard IEC 60027-2, chapter 3.8.2, states that a byte is an octet of bits. However, the unit byte has historically been platform-dependent and has represented various storage sizes in the history of computing.
