I've heard the term before; there's meant to be a
subtle difference -- look at the sentence. "...
continued requests for /more detailed/ information..."
and the meaning is supposed to be to add to the
report to include all available data, which would be
different than making sure the data that it does
include is up-to-date.

Jargony to say the least, but once you figure out
what it means, you can figure out how to change it!

HTH!

Is anyone familiar with the term "up-to-data"?

I think the author meant to type 'up-to-date' as an adjective in the following sentence:
"The overwhelming response to these original reports and continued requests for more detailed information indicated the need for an up-to-data revision that would provide even more detail than the first two reports."

However, the search engine Google found the term "up-to-data" on the Internet on 3,140 pages.
