Calgary corpus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Calgary corpus is a collection of text and binary data files, commonly used for comparing data compression algorithms. It was created by Ian Witten, Tim Bell and John Cleary from the University of Calgary in 1987 and was commonly used in the 1990s. In 1997 it was replaced by the Canterbury corpus,[1] based on concerns about how representative the Calgary corpus was,[2] but the Calgary corpus still exists for comparison and is still useful for its originally intended purpose.
