A word-based compression technique for text files

Journal of library automation [June 1978]

.

Abstract: This paper presents a word-based technique for storing natural language text in compact form. The compressed text consists of a dictionary and a text that is a combination of actual running text and pointers to the dictionary. The word-based technique nearly halves the storage required with no loss in information. Furthermore, the process requires only a moderate amount of time overhead to compress and store the text and can retrieve and decode the encoded text faster than the original text can be retrieved.
