IMHO I can see the difference between data mapping and retention scheduling, but I understand the connection.  In its most basic form, researching the origination and uses of documents when putting together a retention schedule leads to all sorts of discoveries about how the original was created and where the original resided; how and why copies were generated; were copies created on a copier or where they part of a NCR form?  In my mind, this initial discovery of a trail of a document is much like data mapping.  We've just expanded the possibilities and added a few IT questions to our inventory forms.
