Text & Data Mining is the future
“Text and data mining (TDM) is the process of deriving information from machine-read material. It works by copying large quantities of material, extracting the data, and recombining it to identify patterns.” JISC
Human Computers (1901)

• Because it involves the copying of content in order to convert into machine readable format TDM may infringe copyright
• European Database Directive prohibits copying of substantial parts of databases• In US TDM is covered by fair use, other parts of the world have a specific exception e.g. Japan, UK
