EDRM Projects

Launched in May 2005, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) project was created to address the lack of standards and guidelines in the electronic discovery market. EED is an active participant in the following EDRM projects:

EDRM Metrics — The goal of the Metrics project is to provide a standard approach and a generally accepted language for measuring the full range of electronic discovery activities.

EDRM XML — The goal of the XML project is to develop an XML schema to facilitate movement of electronic information from one stage of the electronic discovery process to the next, one software program to the next, and one organization to the next.
