TAR, also known as computer-assisted review, speeds the review process by leveraging IT tools.

Technology Assisted Review(TAR), otherwise known as predictive coding, ranking or

computer assisted review, is a procedure where by people collaborate with a computer to

discover important records. Similarly as there are numerous name for the procedure, there are

wide range of ways to deal with it. Finally, all of these systems leverage human information

about important archives to discover all the more potentially relevant documents. Savings are

ERM includes the management of electronic and nonelectronic records, such as paper and other

physical records.

Electronic Records Management(ERM) systems is a computer programs or set of projects

intended to track and store records. The software can be utilized to deal with the creation and

maintain records with classification schemes, apply maintanence and transfer timetables, and

control access and use. An ERM framework must be able to catch records generated by

organization's frameworks and applications. The framework must capture a record along with

any related metadata, and categorize it within a classification scheme. Electronic records don't

have the same implicit metadata as physical records so the degree of metadata that should be

credited to them is more important. An electronic record can be made up of many particular parts

and the framework used to handle them should be able to protect those objects and recreate them

as an authentic and reliable replica of the original record.

NARA recommends that e-records are inventoried by information system rather than file series,

which is the traditional approach for physical records.

National Archives and Records Administration(NARA) has made a move to respond to

the difficulties associated with handling and protecting electronic records. In 2001, NARA

finished assessment of the present government recordkeeping condition. This examination finds

that although offices are generating and maintaining records properly, most electronic records are

stay unscheduled. And records of historical value are not being recognized and given to NARA

to archiving. NARA provides the guidance for ERM and disposition through two set of

guidelines.
The ERM regulation, which provides general accountability for offices handling electronic

records

The general record schedules, which provides disposal permission for particular type of

temporary records common to all agencies.
