… because good research needs good data DAF at KeepIt Digital preservation tools for repositories, 19/01/10, Southampton Workshop on next steps for DAF Many of the pilots found the actual process of gathering information on data management was more valuable than the asset register. The DAF approach was felt to be useful for defining requirements to improve data management. (JISC funded DMI projects) A suggestion was made to enhance DAF with practical examples / guidance from the pilot studies. (Implementation Guide) Align the DAF process with other data management planning tools. (IDMP project between AIDA, DAF, DRAMBORA, LIFE)
