Data compression/Talk

Where should a page referencing lossless compression link? Lossless data compression is more on-topic, but has less information (e.g. about practical algorithms) than data compression.

IMHO data compression should convey the basic concept, discuss the difference between lossy & lossless, and leave it at that. Especially the algorighm list and discussion should move to the apropriate subtopic. --Robbe

How are we defining "obsolete" here? --Alan D
