I should quickly point out that this list is specifically tailored towards compression (so lots of names that you'd expect to be listed unfortunately aren't), but I think this is actually a really cool idea to expand upon.
Basically a sort of family tree of scientific and/or artistic innovators with documentation of their major contributions to their field listed in chronological order, that you can filter down to more specific search parameters.
Like if I wanted to view the "lineage" history of computer science vs history of physics, there should be a lot of common math centric "ancestors" in this weird "genius family tree" im thinking of.
Basically what I like so much about this is that it gives you a pretty good roadmap on how you approach actually learning how data compression theory works in a more linear and straightforward manner than if you were to just look up "data compression" on wikipedia and spelunk around following unknown but educationally perquisite terms.
