Hi everyone,

Is anyone planning on attending this? I will be in the UK but not until the next week. Looks interesting.

Hi All

Open Knowledge and ContentMine are co-organising an event with the EU-funded FutureTDM consortium - we want to hear from researchers and other text and data miners (journalists, web organisations etc) about their experiences with performing these activities in Europe in order to make recommendations to improve uptake. This includes changes to European copyright legislation, which will likely be of interest to many of you. If you're interested, you can apply to attend - more info below.

More opportunities are forthcoming in different cities (follow www.futuretdm.eu if interested) and there will be an online survey in the near future for those who can't make it in person.

Please forward onto any mailing lists that you think might be interested.

Jenny (on behalf of the FutureTDM consortium)


FutureTDM Knowledge Café

In collaboration with the British Library

Brontë Room, British Library Conference Centre, 96 Euston Rd, London NW1 2DB

Monday 7 March, 2pm-4pm


FutureTDM is a European Commission funded project to identify current barriers to text and data mining (TDM) in Europe and produce solid European-wide recommendations that address and reduce these barriers on a legal, policy and organisational level. You can find out more about the project at www.futuretdm.eu.

Content mining techniques lie at the heart of data-driven research and innovation. Yet, as identified by the European Commission, the practice is currently underused by EU researchers. We want to hear from those working in the field to explore why. Our Knowledge Cafes represent an informal opportunity to gather feedback on EU text and data mining in consultation with researchers, funders, developers, publishers, SMEs and many other stakeholder groups.

At this event, participants will hear about TDM in relation to the research environment and then have the opportunity to provide input on TDM barriers in relation to legal clarity, economy (i.e. funding), technical infrastructure and research.

Information gathered in the meetings will feed into our project recommendations, website and ultimately into the project’s Online Information Hub which will be launched towards the end of the year. This will also be useful in the wider context of TDM policy in the EU, where legislation is soon to be proposed.

Apply for the event HERE
Applications will be moderated due to limited space and to prioritise stakeholders related to the research environment. We will confirm your place by 29 Feb and as soon as possible for applications received after that date.
