As anyone who has spent time in the document review trenches
will attest, duplicate and near-duplicate documents comprise
a significant percentage of the electronic information
requiring review. Several dozen copies of the same
agreement, each with various changes and comments, or
versions in different fonts because someone thought Times
New Roman was classier than Arial. Seemingly endless email
chains, which started with an innocent query from a regional
manager to district managers until those district managers
forwarded it to their assistant managers, who copied their
assistants, who hit "reply all" more often than not. We've
all been there, and it's not pretty.
Conceptual search is used to retrieve documents that relate
to a given word or idea, even if the search term itself does
not appear. To cull non-relevant data, many litigation teams
start out with traditional keyword searching and then
advance to conceptual search. Standard keywords are limited
because humans cannot always think of the different ways
that people refer to items or subjects of interest.
Conceptual search technology addresses this
challenge.
Typically, between 30-50 percent of electronic files in a
case are near-duplicates. As the term suggests,
near-duplicates are not exact copies of an electronic file
but files with small textual or formatting
differences.
The new white paper eDiscovery Document Review:
Understanding the Key Differences between Conceptual
Searching and Near-Duplicate Grouping discusses the
significant different use scenarios and results for each
method. This white paper is published here for the first
time.
