I _think_ then that it's correct to use that term here as well, even if the first relates more to the heading.

Line 6: [[File:Reed–Solomon error correction Mona Lisa LroLrLasercomFig4.jpg\|thumb\|To clean up transmission errors introduced by Earth's atmosphere (left), Goddard scientists applied Reed–Solomon error correction (right), which is commonly used in CDs and DVDs. Typical errors include missing pixels (white) and false signals (black). The white stripe indicates a brief period when transmission was interrupted.]] In [[information theory]] and [[coding theory]] with applications in [[computer science]] and [[~~telecommunication~~telecommunications]], '''error detection and correction''' ('''EDAC''') or '''error control''' are techniques that enable [[reliable delivery]] of [[digital data]] over unreliable [[communication channel]]s. Many communication channels are subject to [[channel noise]], and thus errors may be introduced during transmission from the source to a receiver. Error detection techniques allow detecting such errors, while error correction enables reconstruction of the original data in many cases. == Definitions ==
