### DUOS

DUOS is a semi-automated data access management service, created by the Broad Institute.
DUOS ({% tool "duos" %}) is a semi-automated data access management service, created by the Broad Institute.

DUOS leverages Data Use Ontology, which is a standardised vocabulary for data use limitations and proposed research that is also computer-readable. Using the same ontology, data custodians are able to describe their data use limitations and data requestors are able to describe their research purpose. This means that using the DUOS service, DACs are able to compare data use limitations and research purposes using the same vocabulary of terms, making it easier for them to make data access decisions. There is also the ability to enable an algorithm to automate this comparison and replicate the decision that a DAC could make, which has seen >90% agreement through testing.
