Text
and
data
mining
[the
benefits
of
text
mining
include]:
“increased
researcher
efficiency;
unlocking
hidden
informaLon
and
developing
new
knowledge;
exploring
new
horizons;
improved
research
and
evidence
base;
and
improving
the
search
process
and
quality.
Broader
economic
and
societal
benefits
include
cost
savings
and
producLvity
gains,
innovaLve
new
service
development,
new
business
models
and
new
medical
treatments.”

“The
downstream
value
of
high
quality,
high
throughput
chemical
informaLon
extracted
from
the
literature
can
be
measured
against
convenLonal
abstracLon
services…
with
a
combined
annual
turnover
of
perhaps
$500-­‐1,000
million
dollars.
We
believe
our
tools
are
capable
of
building
the
next
and
beeer
generaLon
of
services.”

“Licences
for
Europe”
• Focus
is
to
create
new
licenses
to
enable
TDM
• I.e.
researcher
would
need
one
license
from
each
publisher.
Much
TDM
work
involves
hundreds
of
publishers,
can
take
weeks
just
for
one.
• Focus
pre-­‐determined
from
start:
to
come
up
with
proposals
on
licenses
only.
Discussion
of
excepLons
allowed
but
not
to
be
part
of
recommendaLons.
• Unbalanced
setup:
large
corporate
publishers,
technology
sector
poorly
represented.
Working
Group
4:
Text
and
Data
Mining
• Where
we
are
now:
civil
society
walk-­‐out.
Not
prepared
to
endorse
licenses
as
acceptable.
Workshop
tba
Q4
2013.
• Tell
your
publisher
or
associaLon
that
this
is
important
to
you.
