It’s tough for Peter getting out of bed today – yesterday he travelled to Brussels and back, fighting for ‘The Right to Read is the Right to Mine’ (R2RR2M). Content mining – also known as text and data mining (TDM) – is a hot topic in Europe. It’s got huge promise, with two million scholarly publications a year and so much data that we can’t take it all in – 5,000 papers a day (and grey literature, and theses, and…). So we must have machines to help.
