Abstract: Compression of data that permits direct reconstruction of arbitrary portions of the uncompressed data. Also, the direct reconstruction of arbitrary portions of the uncompressed data. Conventional compression is done such that decompression has to begin either at the very beginning of the data, or at particular intervals (e.g., at block boundaries—every 64 kilobytes) within the data.

Thus, the principles described herein permit random access of the compressed data. In accordance with the principles described herein, this is accomplished by using an index that correlates positions within the uncompressed data with positions within the compressed data.
