Abstract

Data compression in computer based data files has just begun to be used, with the major emphasis placed on character string suppression. Within this paper, character string suppression, Huffman encoding, noun-vector, and dictionary-vector compression methods are reviewed and compared as well as several combinations of these methods. The methods investigated were compared against three typical data library types: 1) program source data files, 2) test case data files, and 3) text data files. Compression percentage, speed of compression and decompression, storage requirements, error recovery, and data security comparison of the various methods are also presented.
