Brian Selvester – Chapter 3 – Homework 2

1. What is a Digital Hash?

A. An analogy describing how discovery can begin with small, targeted data collections
and expand in scope based on parsing and reviewing data in the initial collection.
B. A value created by using a mathematical formula (a hashing algorithm) that translates
a file into a unique hexadecimal code value; used to determine whether data in a file has
changed or been altered.
C. An e-discovery method that focuses on small data collections, usually from specified
data locations or custodians; typically, the data collection is expanded as relevant data is
identified.
D. A set of scanned images or electronically processed files containing pages and
attachments to documents, e-mails, or files. A load file can also contain data related to
documents it contains, such as selected metadata, coded data, and extracted text.
Key: B

2. What is Reverse Funnel Method?

A. A set of scanned images or electronically processed files containing pages and
attachments to documents, e-mails, or files. A load file can also contain data related to
documents it contains, such as selected metadata, coded data, and extracted text.
B. An e-discovery method that attempts to capture as much data as possible, on the
premise that relevant data will be found.
C. An analogy describing how discovery can begin with small, targeted data collections
and expand in scope based on parsing and reviewing data in the initial collection.
D. An e-discovery method that focuses on small data collections, usually from specified
data locations or custodians; typically, the data collection is expanded as relevant data is
identified.
Key: C

3. What is a Load File?

A. A value created by using a mathematical formula (a hashing algorithm) that translates
a file into a unique hexadecimal code value; used to determine whether data in a file has
changed or been altered.

D. A set of scanned images or electronically processed files containing pages and
attachments to documents, e-mails, or files. A load file can also contain data related to
documents it contains, such as selected metadata, coded data, and extracted text.
Key: D

4. What is a Targeted E-Discovery Scope?

 A. An e-discovery method that attempts to capture as much data as possible, on the
premise that relevant data will be found.

and expand in scope based on parsing and reviewing data in the initial collection.
C. An e-discovery method that focuses on small data collections, usually from specified
data locations or custodians; typically, the data collection is expanded as relevant data is
identified.
D. A value created by using a mathematical formula (a hashing algorithm) that translates
a file into a unique hexadecimal code value; used to determine whether data in a file has
changed or been altered.
Key: C

5. What is a Broad E-Discovery Scope?

A. A value created by using a mathematical formula (a hashing algorithm) that translates
a file into a unique hexadecimal code value; used to determine whether data in a file has
changed or been altered.
