First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for collecting, labeling and storing data in an electronic discovery system, comprising:
- receiving an electronic discovery data request to collect electronic data from a data source, wherein the data request specifies more than one data type;
using a computing device processor to;
create a plurality of electronic labels, each electronic label associated with a corresponding data type included in the data request, and including machine-readable code configured to indicate the data type and the date of the data request;
store the plurality of electronic labels on an electronic discovery permanent storage network;
stage the electronic data by collecting, in response to receiving the data request, a plurality of individual files of the electronic data from the data source and storing the files on an electronic discovery staging drive until collection is completed;
filter the collected electronic data to identify a data type for each of the files and group the plurality of files into data type-specific data sets;
transfer the data sets from the electronic discovery staging drive to the electronic discovery permanent storage network; and
associate the data sets with a corresponding electronic label based on a data type associated with the data set and the corresponding electronic label.
