PCT No. PCT/NZ94/00146 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 11, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 11, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 20, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/17783 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 29, 1995A generalized system for compression of data such as text or images. Compression is achieved by identifying new connections between consecutive data units, existing connections or both. A representation of each new connection is then used to replace the consecutive items throughout the data, which are typically considered in pairs. A hierarchical connection structure resembling a tree is built up as data is received, so that the effectiveness of compression increases with time. After each session of data reception, the initially compressed data may be reorganized with new connections being identified and stored in an index for future use, while also further compressing the existing data.
