3.04.04 Project Folder

These files identify the project, associated information such as attorney name and all the treatments such as stamping or OCR. These files are extremely helpful when identifying an “orphaned” volume. They are also helpful when an old project begins again after a one-year hiatus.

1.       Bibliographic Coding Instructions:

This document identifies how the database was codified. This document shows which fields were coded and any rules around the codes themselves, such as valid document types.

2.       Project manuals:

As available.

3.       Vendor contact information:

A simple text file that tells us which vendor made the CD and their contact information.

4.       Source information:

If there was an intake form, include it here. What was the source of the project – boxes or electronic discovery? Sometimes we need to backtrack from the produced CD to the originating data.

5.       Ranges information:

Show a list of the Bates ranges on the CD.
