This is the catch all category for the library. Wherever possible, I try to categorize an entry with as refined a label as possible. But some web pages, papers, or books cross through many different categories, including lossy, lossless, image, audio, etc. Those things have to be categorized here. A good example would be the comp.compression newsgroup, which covers everything related to data compression.

An article pitched to the layman on how compression works.
If you download many programs and files off the Internet, you've probably encountered ZIP files before. This compression system is a very handy invention, especially for Web users, because it lets you reduce the overall number of bits and bytes in a file so it can be transmitted faster over slower Internet connections, or take up less space on a disk. Once you download the file, your computer uses a program such as WinZip or Stuffit to expand the file back to its original size. If everything works correctly, the expanded file is identical to the original file before it was compressed.

LuraDocument represents an innovative compression software custom-tailored to the compression of scanned color documents composed of both images and text. The documents are partitioned into pure picture and pure text segments through the use of its state-of-the-art segmentation algorithm. Each of these segments is then compressed using an algorithm optimized for this type of data. As a result, scanned color documents can be stored at extremely high quality despite small file sizes. LuraDocument is capable of reaching compression rates of 1:150 to 1:500 while still preserving full readability of the text and excellent quality of the pictures. This makes LuraDocument far superior to even the wide spread PDF format.
