Let’s talk about knowledge
discovery
What is Knowledge Discovery?
• Ultimate goal is to extract high level knowledge
from low level data
• Allows analysis across disciplines
• “Undiscovered public knowledge” (Swanson)
• Identifies patterns in the data to produce new
knowledge
• It’s not a new thing, it’s just digital information
makes it a whole lot more powerful and relevant!
Undiscovered Public Knowledge
Research into Raynaud’s disease
= symptom of disease is high blood viscosity
Research into fish oil
= thins the blood
Why now?
“the discovery by computer of new, previously unknown
information, by automatically extracting and relating
information from different (…)resources, to reveal
otherwise hidden meanings” (Hearst, 1999)
Data
Doubles

1965)

TDM is Fun!

Economics & Competitiveness (Europe)
• TDM potentially worth 5.3 billion euro a year to European
research budget (2%)
• Knock-on effect would be a minimum of 32.5 billion euro
increase in GDP
• US responsible for over half
the articles and patents on TDM
- 1100 US patents compared to 39
EU by 2013
• Non-english speaking countries

Does copyright apply?
• We are not seeking free access!
• We are not seeking to steal content.
• We are seeking to convert content that we have legal
access to into machine readable format so that our
computers can ‘read’ the content and extract facts, data
and ideas.
What we need
“A mandatory pan-European exception for
text and data mining (and analogous
activities), which cannot be overridden by
contract, and is not limited to noncommercial activity.”

Proposed exception for TDM

•
For text and data
Cannot be overridden by contract provisions
Only research organisations benefit
Public private partnership unclear
Allows use of “appropriate technical protection
measures” (TPMs)
• Best practice for TPMs to be agreed
at member state level
What can you do?
1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WAS NOT
DESIGNED TO REGULATE THE FREE
FLOW OF FACTS, DATA AND IDEAS, BUT
HAS AS A KEY OBJECTIVE THE
PROMOTION OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY
