E-discovery is a huge part of search technology. Increasingly, e-discovery demands involve other electronic information disciplines, like records management, cyber security, and corporate compliance. This interesting perspective came from CMSWire in their post, “E-Discovery Trends for 2014.”

There are other topics identified in the article, and you can read those yourself, but I thought it was prudent to point out #5 – growing embrace of big data technologies.

We do know that findability in any size of data is maximized only when a proper taxonomy is in place. Proper indexing against a strong standards-based taxonomy increases the findability of data. Access Innovations is one of a very small number of companies able to help its clients generate ANSI/ISO/W3C-compliant taxonomies.
