Department of Justice, Criminal Division Litigation Support Specifications

1/28/2013

This document describes in general terms the DOJ Criminal Division's requirements for Searchable Image and Native Database production deliveries of electronic data, that is data processed from an electronic state, and scanned paper documents. The following requirements are geared toward a review environment based on Lexis Nexis Concordance or Concordance compatible review platforms such as Relativity.

Searchable Image Database Productions of ESI

Searchable Image Database productions of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) require the data to be produced as images and text files, with an additional requirement that the files also be produced in their Native Format with a NATIVEFILE field. Native Format shall mean the data files in the form "as kept in the ordinary course of business." For example, a Native Format means that Excel spreadsheets are produced as Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Word documents are produced as Microsoft Word Documents, etc. The responding party is required to produce the following:

A. Document Images are to be produced. All documents or files are to be printed to CCITT Group IV, 300 DPI resolution, single-page, Tiff images. Each container file, such as an email PST or NSF or file container such as a ZIP file or RAR file shall be extracted. Each container item is to be considered a separate document. The parent/child relationship between the container and container item is to be maintained. Each email attachment is to be extracted from the parent email as a separate document. The parent/child relationship between email and attachment is to be maintained. Each image is to be endorsed, in Arial 10 point font, in the lower right hand corner with a unique serial ("BATES") number. The BATES number shall not obscure any information in the image. The BATES number shall be no more than 30 characters consisting of an alphanumeric prefix, leading zeros and the sequential number. For example PROD0000001, PROD0000002, etc.

B. Native electronic files are to be produced. Native electronic files are to be produced in addition to the Tiff images. The native file is to be named for the BATES number of first page o f the document. If a file cannot be rendered to tiff then a slipsheet image is to be produced, endorsed with the next available sequential BATES number, containing the following information: Original Filename, Original File Extension, below which should be printed the legend "UNPRINTABLE FILE".

For each such file, the native electronic file is to be produced in addition to the slipsheet image. The native file is to be named for the sequential BATES number that is endorsed on the slipsheet image.

C. Text files are to be produced. For each document produced, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software should be applied. A single (i.e., multi-page) plain ASCII text file is to be produced (unless there is a prior agreement among the parties to produce UTF-8 (Unicode) or other text formats). In the case of files where the text of the document is electronically extractable, the text file should contain the electronically extracted text. For files where the text of the document is not electronically extractable, the file should be imaged then OCR'd and the text file should contain the text obtained from the OCR process. For files without electronically extractable text and that cannot be imaged and OCR'd the text file should contain language such as "No Text Available." An exception report in

Page | 1

Page 8: Bachmann Campaign Grand Jury Subpoena

Microsoft Excel format or .CSV format listing all files that do not contain electronically extractable text and which could not be imaged and ocr'd will be produced listing the BEGDOC number of each such file. The text files will be named for the BEGDOC of the document and will have a .txt extension.

D. A Concordance compatible data file is to be produced. Each file produced will have a corresponding record (row) in the data file. The data file will contain the following fields:
