Electronic Discovery Reference Model Project Launched
A group of 29 organizations has formed a group that will follow an open process to develop a reference model describing the concepts and relationships that comprise the electronic discovery processes. Called the Electronic Discovery Reference Model Project, the group will develop The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) that will provide a common, flexible and extensible framework for the development, selection, evaluation and use of electronic discovery products and services.
The project, announced on May 25, 2005, was launched to address a substantial “pain” in the ED market. That problem, the lack of standards and guidelines, was identified in the 2003 and 2004 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Surveys as a major concern for vendors and consumers alike.
The group is planning a public comment period to solicit feedback on the draft EDRM in early 2006. The primary result of the project will be a documented reference model placed in the public domain by May 25, 2006.
The Project's 29 founding member organizations include leading providers of electronic discovery related products and services, prominent law firms, and corporate counsel. The group continues to accept applications for membership, and is specifically inviting participation from other corporations, insurers, the plaintiffs bar and regulators.
Independent consultants George Socha (Socha Consulting, LLC) and Tom Gelbmann (Gelbmann & Associates) organized the project and will serve as project managers through its completion.
