open source ediscovery

Last summer I posted this – collaboration coming from open source . Looks like there is now a forum setup to spearhead the open source (code engine) for ediscovery. The FreeEed.org invites folks to join in the movement. I guess even law firms (not sure about lawyers themselves) are welcome, as noted that DLA Piper [...]

Idiot’s Guide or Dummies Book

The most difficult aspect of edisc(overy)/(losure) is writing a definitive, complete book covering all the elements of edisc that satisfies everyone or is suitable for general release. So, will a Dummies Guide or an Idiot’s Guide to edisc make it to this year Xmas book list? Perhaps an unlikely Xmas event. What has been stated [...]

reigniting on computing stuff

I had on my list-to-do to consolidate this blog with my new websites at www.iadrt.com and www.insuredatarisk.com. I have not figure out a ‘neat’ or simple way to consolidate not only this blogging site (which was my 1st WordPress attempt) but to simplify my twitter accounts which I have three twitters. I guess it all [...]

computer security to security intelligence

Last week I attended the Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) workshop held at the BCS Office in London. The workshop papers will be published at the IAAC site. The main topic was ‘Consumerism: Same old IA Issues … or not?’.  The presentations were diverse and the attendees’ perspectives were diverse too. A pity I had [...]

The semantic web in practice

I recently came across a content curation service, paper.li and decided to use it to gather contents via my twitter. According to paper.li ‘they love the semantic web’, a great start for an online paper. Paper.li seems to use the twitter (or google+, facebook) handler/user to anchor the data stream and then allow tags/keywords to [...]

cloud computing

Cloud is here to stay (until another storm clears the current cloud), so might as well ride with the current cloud. Like picking up any new technology or looking to make sense of the new technology, I start with looking at the new technology with references to established methodologies, approaches or techniques or simply methods. [...]

It’s starting with B something

Have you notice that ‘B something’ is back in fashion? ‘Big Blue’ in the 70s or is it in the 80s? Now we have ‘Big Data’ and ‘BYOD’. In the ediscovery world, these two ‘B something’ not only add extra vocabulary but also highlighted that data is ‘Big-ish to the petra super server level’ and [...]

to do with technology or not?

Is everything I do, to do with technology? When I am asleep, I guess I have nothing to do with technology unless I am in a technological related dream. This will probably be the end of my spirited being. Here is an interesting question (or a dream question?) raised by someone at the Sociotechnology and [...]

e-discovery process in SoLoMo

The new order of data -  SoLoMo for social, local, mobile data. Now this is what I call  ‘ediscovery rhyme’ ! Does this mean that Cloud Computing is now passé? To quote Paknad in the news at law.com: “There’s no easy button, there’s just complex and more complex buttons.” Complex buttons leading to more sore [...]

predictive coding technology – In the name of cost cutting or/and competition?

The ediscovery space is no longer just driven by ediscovery vendors but also by predictive coding technology which is being heralded as a ‘game-changing’ capability as highlighted by OrcaTec. Excellent posting by the author, Herbert L. Roitblat. Please note that I have not included the trademark symbol in this blog & in the blog’s title [...]
