An article by Evan Koblentz on law.com on the LTN webpage.
This article discusses the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and that organizations work at creating standards for eDiscovery load file formats.
The author writes, "Three years and six months later, vendor adoption of the specification, now in version 1.2, is notable on a surface level but less so in real-world use. There are 24 companies listed on the project website as having at least one compliant product, but none actively call for their customers to use EDRM-XML as the primary method of moving data. Most remain content using Concordance and Summation load files. Another 14 companies are listed as participants, although officials acknowledge that participating has the minimum requirement of simply being on a conference call."
The article quotes eDiscovery expert George Socha, co-founder of the EDRM, ""It has not been as widely used as we would like to see. But I think that's not really that different from what we were anticipating would be the case," EDRM co-founder and legal technology expert George Socha said, citing industry indifference as the standard's biggest obstacle. "One barrier to adoption is inertia," he said, from St. Paul, Minn."
The article further mentions EDRM's continued discussions regarding developing version 2.0 of Legal XML. The article states, "The committee may also consider working with OASIS -- Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards -- which is a prominent technology standards-sanctioning organization formed in 1993. OASIS has an existing law and government section, with subcommittees for court filing, electronic voting, and government transactions."
