What is meant by "Data Source" in RelativityOne?

The concept of "Data Source" in RelativityOne refers specifically to the origin of documents that are imported into a workspace for review. This encompasses the various types of sources from which the documents are drawn, such as different file types, databases, or previously stored datasets. It is a critical component in the workflow of e-discovery, as understanding where the data comes from enables effective data management, processing, and ultimately, review.

By recognizing the data source, users can better assess the context of the documents, manage the import process appropriately, and apply the necessary processing protocols to ensure that the data is ready for effective analysis and review. Identifying the source of the documents also aids in compliance with legal standards and ensures that the integrity of the data is maintained throughout the e-discovery process.

In contrast, focusing on document formats, backup tools, or training materials does not accurately capture the essence of what a "Data Source" specifically entails in this context.
