Researchers in United Kingdom higher education institutions are creating vast quantities of data; however, few institutions have formal strategies in place for curating these research outputs. Moreover, there appears to be a lack of awareness in many institutions as to what data are held and whether they are being managed. If institutions are to realize the full potential value of their data through its reuse they must be able to establish, quickly and easily, an overview of holdings and the policies and practices in place to manage them.

The Data Audit Framework (DAF) provides organizations with the means to identify, locate, describe and assess how they are managing their research data assets. DAF combines a set of methods with an online tool to enable data auditors to gather this information.
