Incremental encoding , also known as front compression , back compression , or front coding , is a type of delta encoding compression algorithm whereby common Prefix linguistics prefix es or Affix suffixes and their lengths are recorded so that they need not be duplicated. This algorithm is particularly well suited for compressing sorting sorted data Uses of data in computing data , e.g., a list of word s from a dictionary . For example align center border 1 cellspacing 0 cellpadding 3 Input Common prefix Compressed output pre myxa myxophyta myxopod nab nabbed nabbing nabit nabk nabob nacarat nacelle pre pre no preceding word myx myxop no common prefix nab nabb nab nab nab na nac pre pre 0 myxa 3 ophyta 5 od 0 nab 3 bed 4 ing 3 it 3 k 3 ob 2 carat 3 elle pre align right 64 bytes align left 46 bytes The encoding used to store the common prefix length itself varies from application to application. Typical techniques are storing the value as a single byte delta encoding , which store only the change in the common prefix length and various Universal code data compression universal codes . It may be combined with other general lossless data compression techniques such as entropy encoding and dictionary coder s to compress the remaining suffixes. Applications Incremental encoding is widely used in information retrieval to compress the lexicons used in Index search engine search indexes these list all the words found in all the documents and a pointer for each one to a list of locations. Typically, it compresses these indexes by about 40 . ref Ian H. Witten, Alistair Moffat, Timothy C. Bell. Managing Gigabytes. Second edition. Academic Press. ISBN 1 55860 5703.
