Metadata Accuracy
Ensuring that metadata tags are accurately generated and reflect the correct PII status of each document.
Metadata Tags
Information that describes other data, in this context, tags added to documents to indicate the presence of PII.
Minimal Viable Integration
Implementing the minimal necessary features to prove the concept, including retrieving file content from Relativity One, processing files for PII, and updating metadata tags on the documents.
Modular Design
An architectural design principle where the system is divided into smaller, self-contained modules, each responsible for a specific functionality, promoting maintainability and scalability.

Ensuring the system handles data transfers and processing efficiently, with minimal latency and high throughput.
PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
Information that can be used to identify an individual, such as names, addresses, social security numbers, etc.
PII Detection
The process of identifying PII within documents, aiming for high accuracy and minimal false positives/negatives.
Plain Text Assumption
The system assumes that the file content retrieved via the REST API will be in plain text, which may limit the types of documents that can be processed.
PostgreSQL
A powerful, open-source object-relational database system that provides robust data storage and retrieval capabilities.
Precision
A measure of accuracy, indicating the percentage of correctly identified instances out of all identified instances.
Presentation Layer
The layer that handles user interaction and presentation logic, typically involving the user interface.
Proof of Concept (POC)
An early demonstration to validate the feasibility of a concept or idea in a real-world scenario. It is used to prove that the system can meet its intended goals.
