Contact Tracing

A long time ago I was involved in assessing and using contact tracking solutions. It was during the Kosovo War (1998-1999) and I was working with an international charity organisation. At that time, I have not heard of Data Protection or privacy or Human Rights and did not have any safety procedures or standards to [...]

Anonymisation & GDPR

Yesterday evening, 29th March 2018 I attended a BCS Law Specialist Group event – GDPR: Anonymisation,re-identification risk and GDPR profiling. The talk was presented by Dr. Amandine Jambert from the French Data Authority CNIL. The anonymisation slide is interesting.

Gartner’s 2nd Annual Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery

The Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery is available for purchase at Gartner’s site. I wonder whether the survey/research also considered Open Source ediscovery platforms. I suspect not from the free review at Law.com. I also wonder whether the Magic Quadrant took into consideration the usage or the applicability of the products for edisclosure as in international [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Why are Google, Bing and Yahoo! collaborating? Aren’t you competitors?

Interesting development in the web space which most likely will attract other willing collaborators (or competitors) to join in. This development is also interesting for the ediscovery space as we now have ‘microdata’ . For my own record – schema.org

over 900 US cases

I came across this electronic discovery database and wondered if there is a similar database for non US cases. I will continue to search for non US cases. For information, the electronic discovery database is maintained by K&L Gates and here’s the blurb: “Electronic Discovery Case Database  K&L Gates maintains and continually updates a database [...]
