FutureTDM’s policy recommendations are here!

While discussions at the EU on copyright reform and an exception for text and data mining (TDM) are very much live, FutureTDM, a Commission funded project of TDM experts has, for the past year, already been gathering information, mapping the TDM landscape and listening to the wide variety of individuals and organisations involved in data analytics. The project has just produced the first in a series of reports, providing a range of stakeholders with recommendations to improve TDM uptake in the EU. This FutureTDM policy framework document sets out high-level principles and recommendations. With copyright reform being processed at the EU institutions over the coming months, we take a look in this blog at the FutureTDM policy framework recommendations for legislators; further stakeholder guidelines will be highlighted in upcoming project materials.
