What is information? – one of five deep scientific questions

Perhaps I will also add ‘ediscovery’ to my list of acquired ‘knowledge’. Over the next couple of weeks I will explore these two domains. Welcome suggestions/comments here or at yahoo groups.

A need for an ‘express guide on electronic documents’?

January 18, 2008 – 9:17 pm

Two statements in the Electronic Discovery In International Arbitration article grabbed my attention; ‘parties are disclosing electronic information both voluntarily and when compelled to do so during discovery’ and also‘that parties to international arbitration are probably treating e-mail and other electronic information like paper documents, with no attention to the implications that the electronic nature [...]
