Good examples for categorization

When adding examples to use for categorization in Relativity be sure to note that certain kinds of documents will NOT make good examples:

  1. Each document should be at least as long as a few paragraphs.

  2. An example document should focus on a particular concept.

  3. The selection of a document as an example should not be based on the document's metadata.

  4. Categorization will not consider email headers or repeated content.

  5. Don't use documents with a lot of numbers such as spreadsheets.

  6. Don't assign duplicate or similar documents as examples for a category.

  7. Don't use the same document for more than one category.
