| The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has adopted |
| the extended-Rice algorithm for international standards for space |
| applications. Szip is reported to provide fast and effective |
| compression, specifically for the EOS data generated by the NASA |
| Earth Observatory System (EOS). It was originally developed at |
| University of New Mexico (UNM) and integrated with HDF4 by UNM |
| researchers and developers. It can be used for HDF 5 as well. |
