From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   error detection and correction
  
      (EDAC, or "error checking and
      correction", ECC) A collection of methods to detect errors in
      transmitted or stored data and to correct them.   This is done
      in many ways, all of them involving some form of coding.   The
      simplest form of error detection is a single added {parity
      bit} or a {cyclic redundancy check}.   Multiple parity bits can
      not only detect that an error has occurred, but also which
      bits have been inverted, and should therefore be re-inverted
      to restore the original data.   The more extra bits are added,
      the greater the chance that multiple errors will be detectable
      and correctable.
  
      Several codes can perform Single Error Correction, Double
      Error Detection (SECDEC).   One of the most commonly used is
      the {Hamming code}.
  
      At the other technological extreme, cuniform texts from about
      1500 B.C. which recorded the dates when Venus was visible,
      were examined on the basis of contained redundancies (the
      dates of appearance and disappearance were suplemented by the
      length of time of visibility) and "the worst data set ever
      seen" by [Huber, Zurich] was corrected.
  
      {RAM} which includes EDAC circuits is known as {error
      correcting memory} (ECM).
