Short for
Electronic Discovery Reference Model,
EDRM is an
e-discovery standard that was designed
to improve systems interoperability and the transfer of electronically stored
information (ESI) between applications involved anywhere within the discovery
process. The EDRM project was first launched in May 2005 with the
completed model being placed in the public domain in the following year, in May
2006. Two subset standards were launched from the original EDRM project
including the following:
- EDRM Metrics: Intended to provide a standard approach and a generally
accepted language for measuring the full range of electronic discovery
activities.
- EDRM XML: An XML schema to facilitate movement of electronic information
from one step of the electronic discovery process to the next, one software
program to the next, and one organization to the next.
