- Portable information storage technology
- Encodes information optically
- First implemented c.2330 (TNG: "Relics")
- Replaced duotronic enhancers (TNG: "Relics")
- Storage capacity
- One chip sufficient to store a single replicator pattern and associated metadata (DS9 Novel: Gamma: Original Sin)
- Most Federation and Starfleet technology functions via information and/or programming codes encoded on individual isolinear chips installed in a fixed array (TNG: "The Naked Now")
- Allows for hotswapping of software components as needed
- Possibly further indicative of incredibly modular program design as described in computer science
- Authentic Starfleet materiel marked with embedded nanomarkers (TNG Novel: A Time to Heal)
