The Relationship between EDRM and ARMA International's GARP® Framework

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) begins with a node titled Information Management, which recognizes the relationship between the normal information handling practices of an organization, and the impact those practices have on the electronic discovery process. Yet, it falls short of describing standards or best practices that can be applied to the complex issues surrounding the creation, management and governance of electronic information.
