Recodificados

Recodificados is the plural form of recodificado, derived from the Spanish verb recodificar, meaning someone or something that has been recoded or re-encoded. In general usage, recodificados can refer to data elements, variables, or media that have undergone a process of coded transformation, mapping, or re-encoding.

In computing and data processing, recoding is used to standardize or migrate information. Examples include converting character encodings (for example, ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8), collapsing multiple category labels into a single set, or translating legacy codes into modern equivalents. The resulting set or items are described as recodificados.

In social science and statistics, recoding variables is a common preprocessing step for analysis: researchers create new variables by grouping, binning, or simplifying categories, effectively producing recodificados for subsequent models.

In multimedia, recoding refers to re-encoding audio or video files to different formats or bitrates to improve compatibility or storage efficiency; files produced by such processes can be referred to as recodificados.

The term is not a formal technical designation and its meaning is context-dependent. It is primarily a descriptive label used in documentation and workflow descriptions.
