[edit] 
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evocation
In his fictional novel A Fire Upon the Deep, computer scientist Vernor
Vinge uses evocation to refer to a method of compressing communication
into very high-level information - words rather than their sounds,
description of actions rather than motion video. The implication is that
the information reproduced may not correspond closely to the original.
