Yes. De-duplication is usually performed by comparing cryptographic hashes (e.g. MD5, SHA1 etc.) of documents to each other. The calculated hash values are based on the binary contents of documents and do not take into account external metadata that is stored in the file system. Therefore, two files with the same contents but different file names would produce the same hash value.

Most e-Discovery service providers would allow you to use a custom hash that includes your choice of metadata fields in addition to document contents for de-duplication. For example, you could choose to include the file name field in your custom hash if you would like to make sure that documents can be considered duplicates only when their file names are also identical.

HillaryIs44 Officially Endorses @RealDonaldTrump For President
Since 2007 we have been the preeminent Hillary Clinton support site. For years we called ourselves a “pink aircraft carrier” willing, able and ready to defend and support Hillary Clinton. After 2008 we compared ourselves to soldiers in “winter quarters” willing, able, and ready-for-Hillary the moment she declared herself a candidate. Today we endorse Donald J. Trump for president.

Our readers deserve a fuller explanation as to why we, who have supported Hillary Clinton for so long, now endorse fully and urge every American to vote for Donald J. Trump. We will begin with a brief revisit of our history in order to make clear our support for Hillary Clinton has been unquestioned. We will then make the case for Donald J. Trump.
