XML standard announced for e-discovery industry

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), an industry group created to develop and establish practical guidelines and standards for electronic discovery, this week announced that it has developed an Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard for the easy transfer of electronically stored information (ESI) to and from applications involved in different phases of the discovery process. The new XML standard will help all e-discovery practitioners – whether vendors, consultants, law firms, in-house counsel or corporate IT departments – reduce the cost, time and manual work associated with e-discovery.
