The data profiling tool (DPT) is designed to assist experts in evaluating the completeness of supporting information for a data product, data source, or web application. It is a checklist for dataflows and data products that primarily feed scientific and/or advice outputs through ICES working groups. Best practices in data management, technology, and the scope of data products are constantly evolving. Given this development, the DPT will need adaptation—possibly ahead of the formal three-year review cycle. Hence, the DPT guidelines can be updated ahead of the review period if needed.

The aims of the DPT are to document the dataflow or product; to use the answers gathered through the tool as a gauge for completeness of the dataflow; and, finally, to document ICES efforts to quality-assure all aspects of its advice production.
