Akronim: Compression

Compression
To reduce in size. The amount of storage space required to store data can
be reduced if the data is compressed. Compression can be achieved either
without loss of information (called lossless) or may result in some loss of
information (called lossy). Lossy compression algorithms typically allow a
choice between low compression and low data loss or high compression with
correspondingly higher data loss. Lossless compression is used for
compressing where no data loss can be tolerated, for example when
compressing applications or application data. Lossy compression is used
where some data loss can be tolerated and is typically used for images, for
example jpeg and mpeg are lossy image compression techniques.
