Re: A proposal for Shared Dictionary Compression over HTTP

Hi,

This reminds me of a theoretical paper I wrote for a peer reviewed
conference (MTECS'08) during my undergrad program in the year 2008. I am
attaching that paper here in the email, but it can also be downloaded from
http://www.cs.odu.edu/~salam/papers/DCCUPMT.pdf.

The paper describes various terminologies and a couple of algorithmic
procedures to reference pieces of one document in the other using ordered
pairs. Since then I did not get a chance to explore the idea further with
practical data.

Best,
