eDiscovery

Electronic discovery (or e-discovery) refers to discovery in civil litigation which deals with information in electronic format. Electronic information is different from paper information because of its intangible form, volume, transience and persistence. Also, electronic information is usually accompanied by metadata, which is rarely present in paper information unless manually coded.

Examples of the types of data included in e-discovery are e-mail, instant messaging chats, documents (such as MS Office or OpenOffice files), accounting databases, CAD/CAM files, web sites, and any other electronically-stored information which could be relevant evidence in a lawsuit. Also included in e-discovery is "raw data" which ESR Plasma can review for hidden evidence. The original file format is known as the "native" format. Litigators may review material from e-discovery in either printed paper or native format.
