Digital Evidence Models

Metadata Scope Map

Metadata scope work can be represented as request, account, content, minimization, and review labels. Honesty note: simplified US federal classroom model; Fourth Amendment doctrine and state rules vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

Use a scope map

The stated process maps request record to account metadata, content boundary, minimization review, and human review.

request to boundary to review\text{request to boundary to review}

Example scope packet

The toy packet separates account-metadata label from content-boundary label before minimization review.

metadata label plus content boundary\text{metadata label plus content boundary}

The flow recomputes the map

The procedure flow recomputes 5 nodes and 4 edges from the authored scope map.

nodes=5,edges=4\text{nodes}=5,\quad \text{edges}=4

Diagram note

The diagram is a structural scope map. It does not apply communications law or decide access scope.

Summary

Metadata-scope data should keep request, metadata label, content boundary, minimization review, and human review distinct.
