The issue of de-duplication

Ken Withers, a true leader in this area, notes the following on his site:

"One of the oft-cited advantages of electronic discovery is the ability to automatically 'de-dupe' large e-document collections before review for relevance or privilege. The process involves applying an algorithm to the data collection which identifies and removes 'duplicates' of emails and other documents, thus dramatically reducing the numbers of unique documents to be reviewed. But there may be dangers to this and other routine e-discovery practices, as digital forensic accounting technologist Jack Seward points out in his latest article from the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal, 'Protecting Yourself Against E-Illiteracy: Avoid Being Duped.' George Socha of Socha Consulting responds to Jack with a different view of deduplication. "

Yeah, I know it has been there a while, but like I said, I have a lot of pent up material...

The Seward article actually presents a strong case as to why people need to bone up on this area.
