By Craig BallThe core challenge of discovery is identifying information that is responsive but not privileged, achieved without undue burden or expense. There are multiple ways to approach the task, none optimal. The most labor-intensive method is called “linear human review,” where lawyers (for the most part) look at everything and cull responsive and privileged items. It sufficed in the pre-digital era when much effort and resources were devoted to recordkeeping. Despite being costly, slow and error prone, linear review was all we had, so became the gold standard for identifying responsive and privileged information.

Information Governance (InfoGovernance) is the specification of decision rights and an accountability framework to encourage desirable behavior in the valuation, creation, storage, use, archiving and deletion of information. It includes the processes, roles, standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information to enable an organization to achieve its goals. Information governance should be an element in planning an enterprise's information architecture.
