Compression

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000220

The process of reducing the size of data to save storage space or decrease transmission time. It involves encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation, often by identifying and removing redundant data. Common compression algorithms include ZIP for lossless compression and JPEG for lossy image compression.
