Abstract

This paper describes a dictionary-driven, hardware-independent data compression scheme for archival storage of large statistical databases. It discusses motivations for this development, storage format requirements, implementation details, access considerations, and possible extensions of the technique. It also analyzes the degree of compression achieved for different types of statistical data files.
