EDRM XML Schema continues to
gain momentum
Increased vendor adoption
First integrations deployed
Many more in validation
Clear customer uptake
EDRM XML Schema continues to
gain momentum
Increased vendor adoption
First integrations deployed; many more in validation
Starting to see inclusion of EDRM XML in vendor certification
programs
More importantly, clear end-customer uptake is driving
vendors to leverage the standard
Three major activities in the
2008-2009 project year
Defined Public Comment version of the 1.1 EDRM XML
Schema to incorporate user input received during the first 12
months of active schema use
Defined Public Comment version of the 1.1 EDRM Metadata
Dictionary to include a more wide-ranging set of metadata
• Goal is to leverage Public Comment period to also define a “core” &
“extended” EDRM metadata list for end-user use – “just give me core
EDRM metadata”
Started development of programs & documentation to
bolster compliance & drive increased adoption of the schema
1.1 Schema details
Version 1.1 Schema
Available for download & comment
Added additional document type “Paper”
Minor modifications to several field types to improve
flexibility
Version 1.1 Compliance data set
Update in process
Validates ability to properly read/process an EDRM load file
Includes TIF/Text example
What’s next?
Subgroup starting to explore the idea of EDRM “transactions”
at different points in the EDRM lifecycle (i.e. collection ->
processing)
Push to develop additional resources to help with
compliance and validation
Work to commence on the 2.0 version of the specification
• Moving beyond the “load file” core of the current schema to include
additional content
• Examples: Collection & production tracking, redaction metadata
Metrics
What it is
An effective means of measuring time, money & volumes
associated with e-discovery
Completed

Mission
To evaluate & define acceptable boundaries of ethical
business practices within the e-discovery service industry
To issue aspirational guidelines intended to serve as a basis
for ethical decision-making by all participants in the e-
discovery process
Structure the Code
Seven topics are broken into associated Principle &
Corollary statements, Best Practices, Examples and
Discussion Sections
Principles focus on the duties of a Service Provider
Corollaries focus on the related duties of a Client
Best Practices define recommended guidelines for ethical
decision-making
Examples provide hypothetical scenarios for real-world
implementation of Best Practices
Discussion provide commentary on Best Practices

Professionalism
Engagement
Conflicts of Interest
Sound Process
Cooperation & Communication
Confidentiality
Dispute Resolution
Current Activities
Team members have volunteered to work on specific
Principles & the associated Corollaries, Best Practices,
Example & Discussion sections
Team members draft, post, comment on others, and then
revise the applicable sections
Model Code of Conduct is due to be presented to an EDRM
general session in May 2009 for review & possible ratification
by participant organizations
The Future: 2009-2010
Initial public release of Model Code of Conduct planned for
June 2009
Full promotional release of MCoC planned for August 2009 at
ILTA
Develop & release educational programs on ethics in
electronic discovery for Service Providers, Law Firms &
Corporations
Establish Evergreen program for updating MCoC, particularly
Examples sections, as new situations are brought to the
attention of the group
