Abstract: The discovery process in criminal and civil litigation frequently produces a large body of digital data. The digital data may come from computers, smartphones and other electronic devices (sources) of one or more people related to the litigation. Each source may have digital data from one or more applications and/or programs (platforms). The digital data may include, as non-limiting examples, contact lists, messages (possibly with emojis), photos, videos, audio and/or location data as non-limiting examples. The digital data from the various sources and platforms may be normalized and combined into a corpus of digital data. Digital forensic tools, possibly even an artificial intelligence (AI) may then be used to analyze the corpus of digital data.
