<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been asked to gather information about
compressing data files before submitting them to our IR. Are
there any standards? Is this what people are usually doing.
I’m assuming lossless rather than lossy compression. What our
IR folks are proposing is zipping all files (datasets and
files about the dataset) together.<o:p></o:p></p>
