  • Portable information storage technology
    • Encodes information optically
  • First implemented c.2330 (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
