Compression research

This section is for experimental data compression formats, and other formats whose main reason for existence is an innovative compression scheme. There are a large number of such formats that are unlikely to ever be documented in detail on this wiki, but at least we can try to list them.

Formats that have seen significant use beyond compression research should, for the most part, not be listed here. (Please remove them.)
