OpenMinted aims to establish an open text and data mining platform for researchers to discover, create, share and reuse knowledge from scholarly sources. It will provide interoperable services for machine reading, information extraction and predictive analysis of structured data from unstructured text. Key challenges include making content and services discoverable, interoperable, and addressing intellectual property rights. OpenMinted will build on existing repositories and language resources and technologies, and involve stakeholders from its inception to evaluate outcomes.
