ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (“EDRM”), designed to develop and establish practical guidelines and standards for electronic discovery, today kicks off its annual conference to address the key issues in the emerging e-discovery industry. The conference, which attracts a broad audience of legal, IT and business executives, will cover a variety of topics ranging from e-discovery best practices and processes to developing an XML schema for metadata, and all of this content will be made available through the EDRM Website, www.edrm.net.
This year’s conference comes as EDRM is gaining broader acceptance and adoption from leading legal and IT industry organizations. This past winter, ALM Media’s Law.com site incorporated the EDRM Model into its own e-discovery framework for legal professionals. Gartner, Inc., a leading IT research and advising firm, will use the EDRM model as its framework to analyze products and services in the rapidly expanding electronic discovery market. “In our analysis of the market for products and services related to e-discovery, Gartner will use the Electronic Discovery Reference Model,” stated Gartner analysts Debra Logan, Whit Andrews and John Bace in a March 12, 2007, report entitled Key Issues for Electronic Discovery. “Created to address the lack of standards in the e-discovery market, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model lays out the discovery process in stages.”
