As data represents critical assets in modern business, companies must evaluate and use them strategically to maintain competitiveness. However, the intangible and complex nature of data makes objective valuation difficult. The proposed methodology categorizes data value determinants into two groups: essential value factors (completeness, accuracy, uniqueness, and consistency) and value-of-use factors (risk, timeliness, restrictive use, accessibility, and utility). This study analyzes the impact of each factor on the data value using quantitative methods. A regression analysis reveals the influence, interactions, and relative importance of these determinants. A real-world case study on the \u201cPapers with Code\u201d platform\u2014widely used in machine learning research\u2014demonstrates the methodology in practice. The results indicate that essential value factors, such as Percentage Correct and Task, have the strongest positive effect on data value, which underscores the importance of accuracy and relevance to specific applications. In contrast, factors such as Similar Datasets and Benchmarks reduce the data value, which highlights the need for uniqueness and differentiation in determining the value of a company\u2019s data assets. This study provides practical guidelines for companies on the key factors to focus on when evaluating and managing data value. This study offers practical guidance on prioritizing value-related factors and enables more effective investment and utilization strategies. By addressing current limitations in data valuation and presenting a new approach, this study enhances data-driven decision-making and strengthens its associated competitive advantage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13040305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,21]],"date-time":"2025-04-21T20:38:26Z","timestamp":1745267906000},"page":"305","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Development of a Methodology for Assessing Data Value Through the Identification of Key Determinants"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3503-150X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daye","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Dongguk University, 30, Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1110-4011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byungun","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Dongguk University, 30, Pildong-ro 1-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1545","DOI":"10.1093\/rof\/rfac073","article-title":"Valuing data as an asset","volume":"27","author":"Veldkamp","year":"2023","journal-title":"Rev.
