ContentMine

"We believe that Content Mining has huge potential to make knowledge available to everyone (including machines). This can enable new and exciting research, technology developments such as in Artificial Intelligence, and opportunities for wealth creation. Manual content-mining has been routine for 150 years, but many publishers feel threatened by machine-content-mining. It's certainly disruptive technology but we argue that if embraced wholeheartedly it will take science forward massively and create completely new opportunities. Nevertheless many mainstream publishers have actively campaigned against it. Although content mining can be done without breaking current laws, the borderline between legal and illegal is usually unclear. So we campaign for reform, and we work on the basis that anything that is legal for a human should also be legal for a machine. * The right to read is the right to mine *"
